"Judge's nomination rejected; Utah Senate cites gun ruling -- and his temper"

ADVERTISEMENTS

"Judge's nomination rejected; Utah Senate cites gun ruling -- and his temper": The Deseret News today contains an article that begins, "In a rare move, the Senate voted against the judicial confirmation of Robert Hilder, with a primary criticism being his anti-gun-rights rulings. The Senate voted 16-12 against confirmation for Hilder to Utah's appellate bench, with one of the key criticisms being his ruling in favor of the University of Utah's concealed weapons ban. Along with the gun ruling, Hilder was also criticized as being unable to control his temper, a problem Sen. Chris Buttars, R- West Jordan, said the judge displayed during a closed-door portion of hearings before the Senate Judicial Confirmation Committee."

And The Salt Lake Tribune reports that "Senators reject Hilder for Court of Appeals."
