I hope you-all national folks see how the GOP Supermajority treats even LDS Republican women in Utah. They own the courts. When the courts made them angry, they made a new court. And they have a secret court waiting on standby. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/u...

"Over the past year, they expanded the Supreme Court by two seats, choosing new justices from a list of 12 nominees, all men. The Legislature then created a new “constitutional court” to hear lawsuits filed against it, including on gerrymandering and abortion." www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/u...

Watch what Gov. Spencer Cox does, not what he says. His “disagreeing better” theme is a mask for continued GOP(male) dominance. He removed a requirement for partisan balance on the commission that nominates judges, and gave himself sole power to appoint its members. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/u...

It's pathetic @thedailyshow.com didn't bother to research any of this before Jon Stewart boosted Spencer Cox's new book in their interview last week. Cox has always struck me as a wolf in sheep's clothing, someone who pretends to be a peacemaker while he perpetuates the oppression of women & POC.
