Sad result for Utah citizens | 8:32 a.m. July 4, 2008

I think the DesNews should have given us the circuit judge's name so that we could throw him out the next time we see his name on the ballot. Sad above has no appreciation for our police, and identified instead with the drunk driver. He must have been arrested himself at one time for DUI.

Governmental immunity. One of the founding principles of our divinely inspired Constitution. Thank you, dear justices, for upholding this time-honored principle.
