ah, a personal favorite,

this ruling sets no precedent because I decided it doesn't

The kind of thing produced by a very real and legitimate court system and definitely not just 9 unaccountable, unelected elders making decisions on a whim.

If cats looked like frogs we'd realize what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That's what people remember.

With the bill, Utah joins a long-standing small-c conservative push to promote states’ rights

it's written like they're trying to pass this off as a thing with precedent and nothing new, but... kinda seems like Utah is trying to keep the LDS church from being investigated or prosecuted federally? That seems pretty unprecedented. For a long time, the Church has had this belief in a prophecy that it's destined to Save The Country by folding the constitutional systems into its own structures. A kinda Catholic Papacy / Roman Empire sorta style deal. They're sitting on a lot of money, and it's more than just tithing. That I'm aware of, the LDS church owns a significant amount of ranch-land in Nevada, Idaho, and Florida; as well as a bunch of stock in a wide variety of companies. The big one I've heard about is The Coca-Cola Company (KO).

At it's most crass, they're a dragon looking to protect their hoard. But... as a social organization, they cultivate a lot of capital-t capital-b True Believers, and not just in general membership. I'm sure there are cynics in leadership... but I suspect they're in the minority. Utah may be the indicator of interesting times.
