I hope that Utahans understand how lucky we are to have Mike Lee as our Senator.
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh
🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee just said the Senate is TAKING UP the SAVE America Act next week He is about to surge to the floor to get it done 🔥 "Early next week, we'll be taking up the SAVE America Act again. We need to stay on it until it passes. SPREAD THE WORD!" 🇺🇸

@danmccay Honest question: How do you square this religious prohibition of our faith regarding separation of church and state, and the 1st Amendment that contains a similar prohibition, with laws you have instituted based on YOUR religious beliefs, that have taken rights away from others?
English
@danmccay D&C 134:9 “We do not believe it just to mingle religious influence with civil government, whereby one religious society is fostered and another proscribed in its spiritual privileges, and the individual rights of its members, as citizens, denied.”
English
We believe that governments were instituted of God for the benefit of man; and that he holds men accountable for their acts in relation to them, both in making laws and administering them, for the good and safety of society.
Doctrine and Covenants 134:1

@VoteTrevorLee You sound like all the other liars, like your President Trump, who “loves and makes a lie” and whom Jesus says are destined for a Telestial glory. But go ahead and #ThinkTelestial
English
@VoteTrevorLee Your statement also doesn’t square with Latter-day Saint doctrine to me. Liberty and agency are foundational principles of God’s plan. Children who die before the age of accountability are destined for the Celestial Kingdom.

When a rouge activist judge unconstitutionally picks a map in Utah. The outcome will cost lives from a supposed Christian man who likely will take a seat now.
This is not what the majority of Utahns want.
We are a super majority republican legislature and are the voice for the people.

This is a heartbreaking example of the toll of abortion bans and what happens when women are denied access to health care. If elected, I would vote to codify Roe and restore a woman’s right to choose.
English
@VoteTrevorLee You neither followed the Constitution nor the power it gave to Utah voters to make laws that guided your right to make maps. You messed up and the Court said so. That’s also in the Utah Constitution. You should read the other parts, too.
English
@SorenSimonsen The voters elected us to uphold the constitution and pick a map.
English
Apparently the executive branch gets to make maps now too.

@VoteTrevorLee @BurgessOwens Good grief. She didn’t make a law. She followed the law made by the voters of Utah. You didn’t.
English
@SorenSimonsen @BurgessOwens Correct, where does it say the judge gets to make laws? Or pick maps?
English
@MayorStaggs Read the article. It talks about several cases where women died because they were denied abortions. The Church doctrine page says protecting a mother’s life is a valid reason for abortion. He’s actually following the values and doctrines of his faith.
English
Remember how he used to pretend he was "moderate" and seemed to fool the Romney wing of the party?

@VoteTrevorLee When members of the church vote Democrat, they’re voting for a pro baby murder.

@VoteTrevorLee @BurgessOwens There is more to the Utah Constitution than Article 9. You should read it some time.
English
@SorenSimonsen @BurgessOwens What part of article 9 didn’t we follow?
English
@BasedMikeLee @VoteTrevorLee When the Utah Legislature doesn’t follow the law or the Constitution or the will of Utah voters from which they derive their powers, yes the Utah Constitution also says the Utah Court has a duty to intervene. It’s the Utah Way.
English
Judge Gibson’s early Christmas gift to the Democrats—making it far easier for leftists to get elected in Utah—isn’t a defensible use of the judicial power
It’s a lawless takeover of the legislature’s exclusive, constitutional power to create legislative districts
That power belongs to the people and the lawmakers they elect—not to Judge Gibson
Mike McKell@mikemckellutah
As an officer of the court, I’m disappointed in my own profession. The ruling stepped way outside a judge’s lane and ignored the Utah Constitution’s clear separation of powers.

@VoteTrevorLee @GunOwners @gunpolicy @NRA Bad analogy. Banning drunk drivers from driving is what works and what the law actually says. Regulating the bearing of arms, which is literally in the Second Amendment, is an appropriate way to prevent needless deaths…and it is Pro-Life as well.
English
Wanna stop drunk drivers from killing sober drivers? Ban sober drivers. That’s how gun control works.

@mormons_speak @Ch_JesusChrist I expect there will be more on elevating and equalizing women in the Church coming from this prophet.
English
@mormons_speak @Ch_JesusChrist When you go is a personal choice. I went after 2 years of college. My son after 1. Many 18 year olds thrive as missionaries and women are typically more mature at 18 than men. I think it’s a great change to bring more equality between men and women in the Church.
English
Many young #LDS missionaries are returning home early. They need a year of work and/or advanced education to learn life skills and independent living before they serve a full-time mission. Eighteen is too young for many teens to be serving missions for the @Ch_JesusChrist.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints@Ch_JesusChrist
The First Presidency is pleased to announce that effective immediately, young women who choose to serve a full-time mission may begin their service at age 18 following graduation from high school or its equivalent. While the Lord asks every worthy, able young man as part of his priesthood responsibility to prepare for and serve a mission, we reiterate that missionary service remains an optional opportunity for young women. We recognize that for those young women who desire to serve a full-time mission, the choice of age to begin service will not be the same for everyone. We extend our love to the youth of the Church and commend them for their faithfulness. newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/women-…
