Regrettably, if enacted, the recall law will be declared unconstitutional.

Federal officeholders -- senators and congressmen -- cannot be recalled. This issue has been litigated both in federal court (Frank Church, Idaho, 1967) and state court (Robert Menendez, New Jersey 2013).

Although Justice Clarence Thomas believes that states should have the right of recall under the 10th Amendment, getting four other justices to agree with him will be a high hill to climb, especially considering the case law already on the books.

Law will be passed. It may go to the Supreme Court and there will be 5 justices by then to make it legal.
While it’s going through that process the state of Utah will find ways to make it Advantageous for the former senator to go do something else.
In the process his family his fortune in his heritage will be destroyed, corrupted and defiled.
There must always be a penalty for such treachery.
His family and friends profited from burisma in Ukraine at the same time hunter Biden was raking in the dough.

He didn’t vote this way out of a sense of moral conviction he rode this way in abject terror for the exposure of his corruption which will defile him in the eyes of his church his family his state and anyone else who matters.
Good riddance to bad trash.
