Very astute observation. Let's take it one step further, given our knowledge of MormonISM.
Milt is a 'high priest' in LDS inc, literally. He has taken the oaths and sworn the lines to be a mormonISM 'Melchizadek High Priest'. He is also a bishop in LDS inc parlance, but that is not as significant as his high priest status.
What does it say about the character of a man who would take the oaths of high priest yet repudiate his own oaths for the expedience of political power? ... Yeah, Milt's mormonISM is an important aspect in considering his character. He's not just a flip-flopper, he's a duplicitous abomination: expedience, utilitarian decisions rule the mind of an unstable man like Milt is exposed to be.
