Defending the Constitution – Why 9/11 still matters today

by CTBC Director | 6:57 am, September 14, 2009

No Friday Funnies this (last) week – instead, Clear The Bench Colorado joins millions of Americans across the country in somber remembrance of the 9/11 attacks on our nation.
What does this have to do with holding our Colorado Supreme Court justices accountable to the rule of law and the Colorado Constitution?  Quite a lot, actually…
As a [...]

Friday Funnies – “inspirational” life story no basis for confirming Sotomayor (or anyone) to lifetime Supreme Court appointment

by CTBC Director | 10:33 pm, July 17, 2009

Following “three days of grueling questioning” (including such hard-hitting gems as “what was the publisher of  the encyclopedias your working-class mother bought you because she so strongly believed in the value of education” and “Perry Mason won all but one of his cases – what was the one case that he lost?“), Sonia Sotomayor is set to [...]

When is a “fee” not a tax? When the Mullarkey Court says so…

by CTBC Director | 10:54 pm, July 16, 2009

In a little-noticed ruling issued November 3rd, 2008 (yes, great time to avoid attention, don’t you think?) the Mullarkey Majority on the Colorado Supreme Court quietly handed down an extremely far-reaching decision designed to permanently end-run TABOR and undermine the Colorado Constitution.  Like most people, I missed the significance of this case (Barber vs. Ritter) both at the time [...]

Additional Eminent Domain Abuse – will the Mullarkey Court back Boulder’s Land Grab, too?

by CTBC Director | 10:27 pm, July 11, 2009

Assuming that the Mullarkey Court follows its own precedent (set with last summer’s Telluride Land Grab ruling), Boulder-area land owners (Feeling stepped on in Boulder) are in for some rude treatment at the hands of local government, backed by the Colorado state Supreme Court.
Boulder County appears dead set on following Telluride’s example in seizing private property [...]

Friday Funnies – Dogs trump unjust justices on eminent domain

by CTBC Director | 12:45 pm, July 10, 2009

It is rare to see such wisdom expressed in the old-school dinosaur media at all, much less in the comics section, but today’s “Dog Eat Doug” cartoon was right on target.
In this cartoon, the baby represents government (Ronald Reagan’s quote is apposite: “Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at [...]

by CTBC Director | 7:00 am, July 7, 2009

Although overshadowed by a variety of high-profile news events (celebrity deaths, governors on opposite coasts leaving home or leaving office, and the U.S. House passing the largest tax increase in American history), last week’s announcement that Denver District Judge Christina Habas made the short list of recommendations to fill two Colorado federal judicial vacancies is noteworthy. 
The [...]
