Scott McCoy Law Career

From January 2002 – March 2003, Scott worked as a law clerk to Justice Leonard H. Russon of the Utah Supreme Court. He was an associate at Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton from January 2001 – December 2001 before moving to Utah to clerk for Justice Russon.

After finishing his clerkship Scott became a member of the Utah Bar and began practicing law at Bendinger, Crockett, Petersen, Greenwood, and Casey, where he practiced commercial law with a focus on business litigation, antitrust, and federal securities.

Scott was also active in the LGBT rights movement in Utah. He worked as a member of the board of Equality Utah, he also worked as a member of and as chair of the Salt Lake City Police Civilian Review Board. After leaving Utah in 2011, he returned to New York City to practice law at Cleary Gottlieb again from 2011 – 2014.

Scott McCoy Senate Career

Scott was appointed to the seat by Utah Democratic Party delegates in February 2005, following the resignation of Senator Paula Julander on health grounds. Scott beat Julander’s husband longtime party leader Rod Julander by 44 votes to 41 in the final selection vote. His appointment was then formalized by Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr.

He ran for re-election in 2006 and faced little opposition in this reliably Democratic district, defeating his Republican opponent by more than two-to-one. Scott, who lives with his husband Mark Barr, was Utah’s first-ever openly gay state senator. He and Barr moved to Nw York City in June 2011, where they got married on July 24, 2011, the first day that same-sex marriages were legal in New York.

In 2004, he led the Don’t Amend Alliance, the statewide campaign against a proposed amendment to Utah’s state constitution regarding eligibility for marriage. His reelection campaign won the support of the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund.

Scott was one of four Democratic legislative sponsors of the 2009 Common Ground Initiative, the most expansive legislative push for gay rights in state history. The drive, crafted in response to statements by the Salt Lake City-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which has indicated that it does not oppose some rights for same-sex couples, includes creating a statewide domestic partner registry and protecting someone from being fired or evicted for being gay.

Scott’s Common Ground bill would have amended state law so that financial departments besides spouses, parents, and children could sue if a breadwinner suffers a wrongful death.

The measure would have benefited same-sex couples, but also other nontraditional households, such as one in which a grandmother relies on a grandson for financial support. It died early in the 2009 Legislature when it was voted down by the Senate judiciary committee, led by Republican Sen. Chris Buttars.

Scott is also known for his wry sense of humor. After Buttars, on hearing of Scott’s appointment to the senate, asked ”Who, the gay?”, McCoy quickly ordered a vanity plate for his car that read ”THEGAY”.

Scott McCoy bars Kanye West from appearing on Arizona’s ballot

A judge has barred Kanye West from appearing on the November 3, ballot in Arizona, concluding that a voter who challenged his candidacy had shown he would probably prevail and had established the possibility of irreparable harm if the rapper’s name were to appear on the ballot.

The ruling by Judge Scott McCoy said that the voter who challenged Kanye’s bid in Arizona ”established that the relative hardships favor him.” Putting Kanye on the ballot would create confusion for voters, his lawyers argued.

The decision came a day after Kanye’s campaign turned in nearly 58,000 nominating signatures, well over the 39,000 needed to appear on the Arizona ballot. Over the last 10 days, more than 120 people living in other states have registered in Arizona as paid signatures gather for Kanye, who announced his presidential campaign on July 4.

Kanye has already qualified to appear on the ballot in several states, including Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Tennessee, and Utah. He did not qualify in Ohio, Montana, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and other states, though he has filed lawsuits challenging some of those decisions.

Another Judge ordered Kanye’s name removed from ballots in Virginia on Thursday, finding that he failed to meet a requirement that 13 people pledge support for his campaign were invalid, including some that were ”obtained by improper, fraudulent, and misleading means.” It is unknown whether Kanye intends to appeal to the Arizona ruling. Tim LaSota, an attorney representing Kanye, had no immediate comment.

Earlier this week, Arizona resident Rasean Clayton filed a lawsuit for Kanye to be barred from appearing on the ballot. The lawsuit accused Kanye of serving as an election spoiler and argued that state law barred him from running as an independent candidate because Kanye is a registered Republican.

Kanye’s lawyers said their client’s status as a registered Republican in Wyoming was irrelevant to getting on the Arizona ballot. They said when Kanye filed federal election paperwork, he listed his political party as ”BDY,” an abbreviation for Birthday Party,

Despite those claims, Clayton attorney said Kanye remains a registered Republican. They also said nearly all Kanye’s electors who would cast electoral college voters if he were to win were Republicans until they changed registrations to independence.

Clayton’s attorney said the lawsuit had to be resolved quickly because deadlines for printing ballots are approaching. Arizona faces a September 8, deadline for printing ballots for Maricopa, Pima, and six other counties. Ballots for the remaining counties must be produced by September 9.

It is unclear whether Clayton has any connections to the Democratic Party. He said in a statement that he filed a legal challenge to Kanye’s campaign because he did not want voters to be confused by seeing unqualified candidates on the ballot.

LaSota has brushed aside criticism that Kanye is trying to be a spoiler aimed at hurting Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s chances in Arizona. He has said Clayton’s lawsuit was aimed at denying voters a choice.
