Episode Description

This morning, we learned that a review of people who signed a petition to repeal Prop 4 -- which dealt with redistricting -- found that a new member of the Utah Supreme Court signed his name. Justice Michael Menssen signed the petition roughly seven months before his appointment to the court, yet he's heard argument relating to the redistricting lawsuit; he hasn't stepped back. Should he recuse himself from that case? KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas shares his thoughts.
