The commission issued an order seeking Steed's removal from the bench in February, after a 14-month investigation determined Steed was a polygamist and as such had violated Utah's bigamy law.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

"There is no allegation that it's affecting his performance on the bench," Parker said. "It really is truly only about his private conduct."

Oh, great, that's all we need....the administration gets wind of this asshole attorney and suddenly they're pulling this "conduct vs duty" shit on Frist, Rove, Libby, [insert name here], and [insert name here].

Steed legally married his first wife in 1965, according to court documents. The second and third wives were married -- or "sealed" as the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints refers to it -- to him in religious ceremonies in 1975 and 1985.
The three women are biological sisters...

EEWWWWWWW!!! That's disgusting! Apart from being every man's fantasy, of course.

...and no one in the family was expecting that the second and third marriages would be civilly recognized.

So, wait, he's essentially allowed to sleep with the sisters just for the hell of it and THAT'S OKAY, TOO??!!!

I'm about ready to bag this whole Mormon church state and just raze Utah to the ground. Or, release a whole bunch of Fabio look-alikes and watch those fat, slobby-ass men gradually self-destruct. Either way is fine with me, really.
