I hope you church-going people are happy about this.
Now the fact that ellis and empey have not also done the same is the shameful part, but who am I to judge.
This is the most insightful comment I've seen about the true workings of the Utah State Legislature. It explains so much about the blind loyalty and vicious counterattacks practiced by those currently in power. Note, too, that it is an inherently undemocratic p.o.v., since this kind of absolutism cannot possibly claim to be "representative" of any group of voters. It is about loyalty to the Party, not to the people one represents.
