The Utah State Bar Publicly Chastises Senator Buttars

Will a John Valentine disbarment proceding come next?

Did everyone read yesterday's editorial piece in the Salt Lake Tribune yesterday, wherein the President of the Utah State Bar, V. Lowry Snow, takes GOP dipshit Senator Chris Buttars to public task for a nasty letter he wrote under State Senate letterhead to a sitting Utah District Court judge, attempting to intimidate him, labeling him a "liberal activist judge," because of a judicial decision he made earlier this year, ruling against a Buttars crony?

We'll resist the tempation to launch our own analysis on this, and once again refer our readers to the most-excellent Third Avenue blog, where once again the blogmeister thoroughly digests and analyzes the latest developments in this story.

Betcha five bucks that Senate President John Valentine, a Utah Lawyer who buried this problem in the legislature for at least two months -- if not six months or eight months -- is getting even more pointed non-public letters from the Utah State Bar.

Once again we wonder... when will it occur to Utah Republicans that Chris Buttars needs to be kicked to the curb?

And will Senator John Valentine be ultimately disbarred for his active acts of concealment of Senator Buttars' egregious misdeeds?

So many questions... so few answers.
