Clear the Bench Colorado gets spanked

The Colorado Court of Appeals has held that “Clear the Bench Colorado” – the tea-party aligned group claiming to be “grassroots” in nature but able to receive unlimited contributions from fatcats due to its so-called “issue committee” status – is in fact not an “issue committee” at all but a political committee subject to campaign contribution limits.

You can read Ethics Watch’s summary of this common-sense ruling, which also contains a link to the court decision, here:  https://www.coloradoforethics.o…

(I’m in no way affiliated with Colorado Ethics Watch. I just can’t stand that a political group which very selectively decides which judges they feel should be “cleared” depending on whether the judges happen to support CTBC’s tea-party, radical right-wing viewpoints, and which campaigns for the specific judges it doesn’t like to be voted down, has been hiding behind “issue committee” status.)
