David Bennett, a former Utah Supreme Court justice, wrote to Dallin Oaks in the Salt Lake Tribune on May 14. Oaks is also a former Utah Supreme Court justice and the current president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The ask: speak out for Utah's courts.
The context is Proposition 4, the anti-gerrymandering law Utah voters passed in 2018. The legislature repealed it in 2020 and drew its own map. Five years of litigation followed. In late 2025 the courts threw out the legislature's replacement map and installed one drawn by plaintiffs including the League of Women Voters and Mormon Women for Ethical Government. Republican-appointed justices upheld those rulings, and a campaign to remove two of them followed.
