Coffman Ethics Hearing Will Go Ahead

  • 8 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

That’s the word from Denver District Court today, as Politics West reports:

Congressman Mike Coffman has a date with the state’s Independent Ethics Commission this week, after a Denver District Court judge denied his request to delay a hearing in a complaint against him.

“Having fully considered the jurisdictional arguments of Coffman advanced to the Court,” Judge Norman Haglund wrote in his order on Friday, “the Court finds no support for the contention that the Commission is clearly acting beyond its constitutional authority in proceeding.”

Translation: Coffman’s gotta face the commission.

The hearing is currently scheduled to start at 8 a.m. Friday.

Colorado Ethics Watch, a watchdog group, filed the complaint last year with the ethics commission alleging that Coffman, a Republican, violated state ethics rules while serving as secretary of state. The complaint alleges Coffman knowingly allowed a state elections employee who was a political ally to operate a partisan side business and improperly recertified electronic voting machines from a company represented by the same political consulting firm he hired to run his Congressional campaign…

    1. Coffman is one of the few ‘pubs that scares me a little.  Mostly because lately he’s been saying alot of what I’ve been thinking (the bailout interview after Obama signed it was right on).  Ouch, right?  A huge “You’re Unethical” label will keep him away from a statewide race, just in case he was considering another one.  Is tattooing someone’s forehead an approved punishment here?

      1. In an interview with the Columbine Courier a week ago, Coffman said in one paragraph that Obama’s big failure is in not doing enough to restore confidense, and then in the next paragraph went on to say that the stimulus package won’t work! Nice way to work toward restoring confidense!

        The Dems gave the ‘Pubs about $250 million in tax cuts in the stimulus package, but the ‘Pubs (or “pugs,” would be more appropriate) can’t stand letting the party that won an overwhelming victory at the polls, soundly taking both houses and the presidency as well as large swaths of state and local government, have any of what they, and their constituents, believe (for very good reason) is in the best interests of the national economy in the long run.

        Coffman is a hairball coughed up by a lice-infected gutter cat drunk on a wino’s vomit after feasting on the refuse found floating in a backed-up cestpool. Other than that, he’s just dandy.

        1. When I said after, I meant immediately after.  He was on local Fox (I was trying to watch a re-run of Law & Order: CI while I was stuck in a waiting room).  He talked for probably 20 minutes, responding to speeches and interviews.  That whole time he stayed on point and managed to not contradict himself.  It was perfect.  Every note was hit, to this trained ear he sounded like a moderate Dem.  Seriously.  I know he’s crazy, but he’s good, that’s why he scares me.  As much as I would love a sane Republican to rein in some Dems, I’ve not a drop of respect left for the man.  That said, 20 minutes is a long, memorable time, doing something no other ‘pub can do right now.  Penry can barely handle a 20 second interview.
