Letter: So this is what Utah’s senators call ‘law and order’ when it comes to our ‘royal family’?

(Doug Mills | The New York Times) President Donald Trump speaks during an event where he signed an executive order reducing reducing the size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments in Utah in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, on Monday, July 13, 2026. Behind Trump, from left, are U.S. Sens. John Curtis and Mike Lee, Gov. Spencer Cox, and House Speaker Mike Schultz, R-Hooper.

Apparently our two senators feel it’s completely appropriate to grant our “royal family” immunity from tax crimes past, present and future.

This is insanity!

I hope I never hear anyone claim that the Republican Party is the “party of law and order” again. It’s past time we voted these feckless cowards out of office.
