The Utah State Bar has taken the rare step of publicly opposing a resolution that would change how judges can grant temporary restraining orders.
Sylvester doesn't take a position on whether Utah's abortion ban should be allowed to go into effect, but sees the retroactivity clause in Brammer's bill as problematic.
Brammer said he has yet to see evidence of any actual impact of his resolution, without which "the major points of the Bar's opposition — paragraphs 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d and 2a — are moot or mitigated almost entirely," he told KSL.com. He asked the Bar to provide a copy of any order that would be impacted by HJR2, and asked the Bar to clarify the "policy reasons" that the Bar says support the inclusion of the "serious issues" language in Rule 65A.
"Does the Bar now take the position that it disfavors the use of this constitutional language by the Legislature?" he asked. "I would be happy to come and discuss these issues with the Bar."
