Judge Thompson is LDS went to one of the most conservative schools in the country for undergrad and graduate studies. LDS take liberty elections and the constitution religiously - there are a few crazies mixed in (Mitt Romney) but overall this is a win for us. Could t have asked for a better resume

While I hope you are correct, I think you'd be surprised at just how left-wing BYU is. Still probably more conservative than most though, so there's a chance this helps!
Left wing compared to average Joe LDS.
Probably the most conservative campus regardless.
