EDITORIAL Opinion: Utah’s Redistricting Fight Isn’t About Politics — It’s About the Constitution
Speaking recently to Park City’s Les Deux Magots Coffee Club—a circle of writers, philosophers, and civic thinkers modeled after the famed Paris café where Sartre and de Beauvoir once debated freedom—Sen. John D. Johnson delivered a talk on Utah’s constitutional crossroads. Against the backdrop of steaming cups and morning light in the Wasatch mountains, Johnson framed Utah’s redistricting controversy not as a partisan dispute but as a test of the Republic’s design. “Who,” he asked, “draws the boundaries of our democracy—and who guards the guardians?” His address traced the issue from Utah’s founding charter to the modern courtroom, urging that fidelity to process, not power, is what keeps self-government alive.
