Protective order served on former Idaho GOP head

Former Idaho Republican chairman Blake Hall is one of these "faith-based" right-wingers. This is far more sinister than it sounds. He uses religion as an excuse for not just his social engineering stances but also his economic views that rob the poor.

In other words, he thinks poor and working-class folks should be deprived just to satisfy what he says are his religious views.

Hall - who ran a machine that helped elect statewide politicians and influence state policy - was also photographed assaulting a protester at the 2008 Republican National Convention. In 1994, Hall was accused by his then-wife of domestic violence. Despite this, Bush considered Hall for a federal judge appointment.

Now Hall is the subject of a protective order in which he's been ordered to stay at least 900 feet away from an Idaho Falls woman.

Precise details are unknown, but for an order like this to be issued is rare in eastern Idaho. (At least Idaho allows protective orders. I've been told that Kentucky is one of few states that does not.)
