What do we expect ethically from spouses of SCOTUS justices? 

Supreme Court justices are held to a standard of ethical conduct during their time on the bench. Their spouses, however, aren’t held to the same kind of standard. In the news today, we learned that an upside-down American flag flown at Justice Samuel Alito’s home was put there by his wife in protest of the 2020 election results. Should the justices’ spouses be required to agree to an ethical code? The KSL at Night hosts share their thoughts.

DOJ reclassification of marijuana

The Department of Justice is taking a significant step toward reclassifying marijuana as lower risk and less harmful, with President Joe Biden posting a video on social media saying no one should go to jail for using or possessing the drug. Why is this happening now? Biden called the move “monumental,” but what happens next? The KSL at Night hosts break it down.

Insults thrown around during a U.S. House Committee meeting

Unity in America... is it possible? Late last night, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee met to discuss holding the US Attorney General, Merrick Garland, in contempt of Congress. The big agenda item was quickly overshadowed after chaos erupted between legislators … over fake eyelashes. It was not a good look for Congress, and Rusty and Adam discuss how they would have responded to a situation like this.

Hope for unity in American politics

It’s easier than ever for people to see the bad and crazy in today’s political climate. It’s less common to see the good – the unity and ability to work together. Yesterday, a panel of scholars came together to consider where the bonds of affection still hold, and if unity is still a possibility. The KSL at Night hosts are relieved to disclose that they still have hope and go through compelling reasons why you should, too.

Utah continues to rank #1 for most religious participants

It might not be too surprising, but Utah ranks really high when it comes to religious adherents. But which religions are growing the most here? That answer might surprise you. The KSL at Night hosts finish off the show comparing the data to the rest of the country.
