Utah Attorney General, Sean Reyes, reveals what he's got: Two “big ones” to rent for a million dollars each to the Utah taxpayers, so he can feed a small bevy of foreign lawyers to defend Utah's Defense of Marriage Law. I say, if you really must, buy local, hire local. You will get the same result.
In fact, you could appoint a third grader to write the appeal on a napkin and it will do as well. And, as the recipient of the two million dollars, the third grader will be a better investment. Why? Because the outcome is going to depend on what the current Supreme Court Justices believe about it right at this moment, in their hearts and heads, and they will then find the language to validate that belief, regardless of the ammunition the lawyers give them.
Furthermore, my conservative friends, this is another example of taxpayer money being used against the will of many Utah taxpayers. It's what occurs in a democracy. Remember? (An example of this is healthcare reform.)
Unlike moderates like me, many liberals will claim the State can't do what it wants to do. However, I know it can. I just wish it would do so, inexpensively and locally. I also wish that the conservatives would use charity to take on this fight (just like they want charity to take on the needs of all needing healthcare) and spare the money for something worthwhile – like healthcare.
Why not? Charity is the answer for everything on which conservatives don't want to spend money. Let them show us how it is done on something we don't want them to spend money on.
