A year ago, we wrote about how a challenge brought by the Free Speech Coalition against Utah’s (obviously unconstitutional) age verification law couldn’t go forward because the district court noted (regrettably) that the structure of the law prevented FSC from challenging it before it went into effect.

Submitting or voting in support of obviously unconstitutional laws as a legislator should be considered an act of treason, with the appropriate penalties.
