State: TABOR's Bruce practiced law without license

  • 17 Comments

(But remember, folks, TABOR is wonderful! Never mind its author! – promoted by Colorado Pols)

Hot off the press … anti-tax crusader Douglas Bruce, already facing jail time if tried and convicted of tax evasion, now faces fines for practicing law in Colorado without a license.

As Law Week Colorado reports here: http://www.lawweekonline.com/2…

The Colorado Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel on May 23 quietly filed a petition for injunction against Bruce, who lives in Colorado Springs. The petition asks the Colorado Supreme Court to enjoin him from the unauthorized practice of the law.

The regulation office seeks fines of between $250 and $1,000 for each rule violation.

Bruce has a law degree and is on inactive status as an attorney in California, but he is not licensed to practice in Colorado.

The attorney regulation office claims he drafted complaints filed by his supporters during a ballot issue dispute last year in district court in Colorado Springs. It also claims Bruce passed notes telling his supporter-litigants what to say in court.

The Supreme Court issued an order for Bruce to show cause why he should not be enjoined. He has until June 15 to respond.

Earlier today, Bruce won a short delay in the criminal case lodged against him by Colorado Attorney General John Suthers.

The petition is posted at Law Week Online. Please follow our website for more as this story develops.

    1. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.  

      1. Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light

        What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?

        Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,

        O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

        And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

        Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

        Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

        O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

      2. when one “people” wants anarchy, another “people” wants democracy, another “people” wants a plutocracy, etc, etc.  It really isn’t the “right of the people to alter or abolish” government, by their own individual actions.  Most of us don’t want to live in that kind of lawless chaos.  That’s why we have a system that depends on the rule of law, not of men.  It includes a system of checks and balances which may not always work very quickly but in the long run it maintains some degree of peace and stability.

  1. That makes it a lot easier to understand why he has such a relatively decent track record as a pro se party in lots and lots of litigation in Colorado.
