I was recently offered an appointment as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Utah, in the Constitutional Defense Section. I get to be a constitutional lawyer as my day job--something I have wanted for 26 years and had almost given up on. Cathy and I are excited about this new adventure. Some may […]
