Mischief managed
While Sen. Mitt Romney getting booed at the GOP state convention is getting all of the attention, Republican delegates made a significant change to party rules that will have far-reaching implications.
Delegates voted to change the quorum rules for State Central Committee meetings, increasing the number of members needed to conduct a meeting to half of the membership, which is about 90. The old number was just 40 members. While Carson Jorgensen was elected as the new chairman of the GOP, the central committee is the actual power center of the party. The 180-ish members make many of the crucial decisions about the party’s direction.

Not on the list
The Salt Lake County Republican Party has a rule that any elected official who lives in the county is automatically a delegate to the county and state convention. Unfortunately, the party did not follow its own rules, and two members of Congress are now out in the cold.

Lee: Mask mandates for young children reflect “real hubris”

“We have these guidance documents in place directing people to put masks on children when our peer nations all over the world have set it much, much higher,” said Lee on Fox News.
