Colorado Attorney General John Suthers this morning said he will vote no on three of four state supreme court justices who are up for retention in November's elections and yes on Justice Nancy Rice.
Suthers will vote against retaining Chief Judge Mary Mullarkey and judges Alex Martinez and Michael Bender...
Most Republicans are supporting the effort to deny retention of all four justices who are up for retention.
Mullarkey is widely despised by Colorado's Republicans because she and the other four justices are so blatantly partisan in deciding politically controversial cases. If Mullarkey is retained as chief justice this year, next year she will appoint four members of a commission that will redistrict the state.
And she will appoint the most reliably Democrat partisans she can find.
She and her court also have blatantly supported unconstitutional increases in fees and taxes that have been enacted under Democrat Governor Bill Ritter without having the tax and fee increases taken to voters as required by TABOR.

The whole Colorado Supreme Court should be shoveled out.
Suthers is unopposed in his quest for the Republican nomination for re-election as Colorado’s state attorney general.
Mike Rosen on 850 KOA seems to be expressing the same sentiment.
Hopefully we can sweep them all out.
Mallarky is blatantly partisan. Even on purely legal issues she is way left, often ignoring the law.

Thanks. I agree with getting rid of all of them. We may still have a Democrat appointed to replace them but there is no reason to hand the Democrats redistricting on a silver platter.
It will also force Democrats to defend their actions to voters in November for the state legislature as well as governor and US Senator.
