  1. The Post is reporting that BWB is calling "ill advised" the idea of a special session to deal with local control issues.  He said that the issue can be handled during the legislature's regular 180-day session.  Who gets to break the news to him that they only meet for 120 days?

    1. That gave me a start, Frank. I read 180 days and reflexively thought "120 days". This guy doesn't even know how long the lgislative session is and he wants to sign the laws they pass? He'd probably be sittng there all June and July wondering where everyone went.

      1. The same guy who is planning to increase state revenues by lowering the state tax rate and eliminate the personal property exemption?

  2. Wonderful news out of Brighton this afternoon. District Court Judge Scott Crabtree has granted summary judgment in the challenge to Colorado's ban on same sex marriage.  Looks like the amendment is dead.  Hopefully, the Boulder District Court judge will look at the written decision.  General Suthers has sustained another battlefield loss in his cultural war!

      1. But it will be soon and, as with all those who stood against civil rights, Suthers will find himself on the wrong side of history. Although I get the feeling in Suthers' case it's not that he's burning to stop the decline of western civilization so much as that this is what a Republican AG is expected to do so he's doing it, probably knowing full well that resistance is long past futile.  He's just being a GOTP team player.

        1. Didn't Suthers file in the recent Federal case – Burns – that he agreed that the 10th Circuit ruling would make the Colorado ban unconstitutional if upheld?

          He's resigned to it, but as you say, he's going through the proper GOTP Team! motions.

        1. The judge made a decision– marriage is for everyone (in twos, at least).  The judge then stayed, or stopped in English, the enforcement of his ruling until the AG appeals to a higher court.

          This isn't uncommon when the judge knows the decision will be appealed and feels that the potential harm of the ruling taking immediate effect (uncertain status if the higher court overturns) outweighs the need for immediate relief (married GLBTs).
