• Tribune editorial: Supreme Court did not uphold a right to discriminate

  05-06-2018 22:16
  Bad cases make bad law. Nobody does — or should — know that better than the nine justices of the United States Supreme Court.So it is not such a bad thing that in the case of Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission — aka the gay wedding cake case — the court endeavored not to make a law at all.Anyone who thinks the case was decided in favor of those who want the law to protect discrimination against LGBT people stands to be sadly disappointed.People of fa

• ‘I thought the last place that he would die would be in Yosemite’: Best friends and master climbers fall to their deaths while scaling El Capitan

  05-06-2018 21:01
  When it came to climbing, Jason Wells and Tim Klein were in a league of their own. The duo, friends and climbing partners since their early 20s, would often scale Yosemite National Park’s famous El Capitan twice in the same weekend - a climb that takes even skilled climbers several days to complete.So when they set out to climb the 3,000-foot granite rock formation in California on Saturday, Wells, 46, and Klein, 42, were well within their comfort zone. “They were not pushing the env

  Over the past month, Utah has already seen three days where the ozone concentration exceeded federal standards — a shockingly early start to a pollution problem that typically doesn’t hit its peak until July or August. “I would predict that we are in for a bad ozone summer,” said Bo Call, a monitoring manager for the Utah Division of Air Quality. The airborne pollutant, which can burn sensitive lung tissues when inhaled and is particularly harmful to children, builds up i

Colorado Civil Rights Commission, the case pitting a Christian baker against a gay couple who sought to buy a wedding cake on the same terms as any other customers.The ACLU represented the gay couple; I argued their case in the Supreme Court. The court ruled Monday in favor of the baker, but on the exceedingly narrow ground that the state civil rights commissi

  The Utah Jazz are reportedly impressed with former Duke star Grayson Allen, who dominated during the NBA Draft Combine last month.
  Tony Jones reported that Utah has become enamored with the former Duke star (via Salt Lake Tribune):
  “If Allen is going to play in the league with an edge, or if he’s going to straddle the edge, he’s going to have to prove he can play at a high level. And the Jazz are convinced he has a chance to, which is why Allen is very much in consideratio

• Gehrke: Two unlikely partners, Hughes and Dabakis, float a compromise for a Salt Lake City inland port — but is this about policy or politics?

  05-06-2018 18:16
  Weeks after negotiations blew apart between Gov. Gary Herbert and Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski over plans for an inland port in northwest Salt Lake City, an unlikely pair of outgoing lawmakers is trumpeting a deal that could resolve the Utah capital’s major concerns.House Speaker Greg Hughes, a Republican, and state Sen. Jim Dabakis, a Democrat, have spent weeks “pounding on each other,” as Dabakis puts it, trying to address the city’s heartburn over the Legislat

• Letter: Voting isn’t just a right, it’s a responsibility

  05-06-2018 18:08
  Rep. Deidre Henderson, in her June 3 column “The right to vote is key to democracy,” correctly stresses the importance of our right to vote. But she does not go far enough to say that it is not only a “right” but, more important, it is a “responsibility.” If no one voted, we would not have a democracy (representative democracy, that is). Or, if our votes became a sham — witness Venezuela — we would not have a democracy.Refusing to vote and not acce

At a time when states like Massachusetts and Rhode Island are creating new jobs building offshore wind farms that wi

No gun should get through the entrance. The letter was not published.Florida’s tragedy was followed by that in Texas, followed by an attempt in Indiana quelled by a teacher who tackled the shooter.
