Brian Greene, R-Pleasant Grove, testifies during a gun bill hearing, at the Utah State Capitol, in Salt Lake City. Lawmakers have debated bills on contentious issues like the state's gun laws, including a proposal that declares Utah's authority to regulate firearms in the state, which legislative attorneys said will likely be ruled unconstitutional. Freshman Rep. Brian Greene, sponsored the measure, which he said is an assertion of state's rights and individual liberty. The legislation says that if a judge declares that a state gun law conflicts with a federal law, the state law will be supreme and federal and state officers cannot enforce the federal law.

Last night I mentioned this Utah state legislator who says he’s not comfortable making it a crime to have sex with someone who is unconscious – especially if you’ve had sex with the unconscious person a lot before. Now he wants to make sure that legislators swear allegiance to the Utah constitution over and above the federal constitution. I expect this guy, state Rep. Brian Greene, to be in the Senate very soon.
