This is the kind of stuff I've come to expect--the Mormans are excellent business men, but they favor their own. It's a built in bias. Idaho is a Morman state, too, or it was when I lived there many years ago.
Isn't Woodie Norris also LDS? I thought he said so on CBS 60 Minutes, or maybe I made that up because he has so many kids.
I hate all churches that keep women out of leadership positions and because I hate the "theocracy" ideal so much, I consider anyone that belongs suspect and unable to reason. Therefore, federal judges in Utah are suspect in my book, and state judges would really be suspect. ORY
