As the Legislature looks to reshape the judiciary, remember Utah courts are not full of liberal, activist judges who somehow snuck under the GOP radar.
For decades, judges in Utah have been nominated by a Republican governor and approved by Republican lawmakers.

When I first saw the pink spray paint at Salt Lake City's federal courthouse early Thursday morning, I definitely had some thoughts about what it may be in regard to.

A Trump protest? Rage at a recent federal court decision?

Likely, nope.
