Hickenlooper Replaces Liberal SCJ w/ Republican

[otohara]

Normally I wouldn't post anything by this right-wing-tool, but this is what the right is hoping for, now that Gov. Howdy Doody is flying his republican slant.


Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper‘s selection of Judge Brian Boatright, the only Republican among the three nominees, as Colorado’s next state Supreme Court justice has major implications given several important 4 to 3 decisions in recent years.

For example, the Lobato lawsuit, in which the education establishment is seeking to have the courts instead of the legislature dictate school funding levels, would have died without a 4 to 3 ruling by the high court that reversed lower court rulings.http://blogs.denverpost.com/carroll/2011/10/27/hickenlooper-pick-of-boatright-could-shift-court/441/
