Colorado Civil Unions Bill Dies in Procedural Impasse

[William769]

Colorado’s latest attempt to pass a civil unions bill died Tuesday evening in what the Denver Post called “a late-night game of political chicken” between Republican Speaker Frank McNulty and House Democrats.

Pressured by social conservatives to kill the bill by any procedural means necessary, McNulty called a recess to prevent the bill, approved by a GOP-controlled House Judiciary Committee last week and previously passed by the state Senate, from coming to the floor. The legislation required debate Tuesday to qualify for a vote Wednesday, the last day of the legislative session.
