He is my senator, even though I voted for someone else. What we need to watch out for is the feinting bill. Hatch is a master at this. He introduces an outrageous bill that draws a lot of fire. He will then withdraw the bill and introduce a different one that is only a small step toward the goal of the outrageous one and it will pass and become law. Hatch will say that this is a necessary compromise between those that love freedom and those that need to protect their intellectual property. Hatch will be seen as a great compromiser here in Utah, even though it was his idea in the first place to start down that road. (Or more likely, the idea of some lobbyist that is secretly lining Hatch's pockets.)
I've seen it many times before with Hatch. I wish the people of Utah would wake up and stop voting for him just because he's republican.
