Bishop's competitors fault defense act vote

The two Republicans hoping to unseat incumbent Rob Bishop from his District 1 seat in the U.S. House both say his vote on the National Defense Authorization Act provoked them to run against the fellow Republican.

"It violates our 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th Amendment rights, and I sent Representative Bishop a letter asking him to explain his vote for it," said Jacqueline Smith, 47, of Coalville. "His answer was insufficient."

"It's a desperate situation and those who voted for it need to be voted out," said Leonard Joe Fabiano, 77, of South Jordan.
