others (Mormon Republicans) score these judges.

Did you bother to even see who the members of the commission are or how they're appointed? These are the rules.

The Commission consists of 13 members. The Utah Supreme Court and the Governor each appoint four members; the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives each appoint two members; and the executive director of the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice also serves on the Commission. No more than seven members may be attorneys. No more than half the members appointed by each branch of government may be of the same political party.

And if you scroll through the list, you'll definitely see people from very different political backgrounds.
