TABOR, as a constitutional amendment, was one of the best decisions the people in this State have ever made – saving us from the fiscal fate of California, Michigan, and other economic basket-case states driven into economic ruin by out-of-control government spending.

Clearing the Bench is the proper solution to holding judges accountable to their sworn duty to uphold the law – as written – rather than substituting their personal, political agenda.

I would agree that not ALL judges have a “political agenda” – Colorado DOES have good judges, at all levels (along with BAD judges, at all levels). Removing the BAD judges – such as the incumbent Colorado Supreme Court justices appearing on the ballot this year – will help to restore confidence in the judiciary and the possibility of fair, impartial courts.

Unfortunately, a few highly-politicized judges and justices – such as the “Mullarkey Majority” – make the remaining judges who DO seek to uphold the law come under a cloud of suspicion.

Indeed, I have taken a very serious issue – judicial usurpation of undue authority and violation of the constitutional rights of Colorado citizens – and brought it to the attention of a great many people this year.

As for my interpretation of the resignation of Chief Justice Mullarkey – it’s borne out by the facts, including comments she has made herself.

Your “challenge” to publish your remarks is rather childish – Clear The Bench Colorado has always welcomed comments, including those from an alternative or opposing viewpoint, as long as they are not offensive or pejorative in nature (sometimes I’ll allow those to be published, too, since they only serve to demonstrate the ridiculousness of the opposition).

Clearing the bench is an oversimplified solution to the problems you outline. The legislature should write more specific laws so that Judges will not be able to interpret them according to some philosophy. Not all Judges have a “political agenda” and your tarring all of them with the same brush is wrong.

You have taken a very serious issue and coated it in emotional overtones to pursue your agenda. Your agenda seems to be eliminate any Judge that does not agree with you and your political philosophy.

Your interpretation of the resignation of Judge Mullarkey speaks volumes, and shows your bias.

I challenge you to publish my remarks.

Have a great day

GOD bless America.
