That just might help the discussion on this diary
I happen to know Boatright. He is a district court judge in Jeffco. Rated second best judge in the state last time he was evaluated. O’Rourke is in the legal counsel’s office for CU. His speciality appears to be Medical Malpractice and Civil Rights. Martinez practices with Hall & Evans downtown he’s listed as litigation, employment law and professional malpractice. Don’t know anything about any of them politically or whether any have connections with Hick. Boatright may have family connections, but he has been on the bench for 8 years, so probably no personal contact with Hick.
I think he is an excellent judge. I’ve tried cases before him and he was always prepared and well versed in the law and the facts. He is also even tempered and invariably respectful of litigants, attorneys, witnesses and jurors. He has a deep background in criminal law and juvenile matters too. Judge Boatright would make an excellent Colorado Supreme Court justice.
A community activist and an ambulance chaser. TABOR’s toast for sure!
It’s clear you have no clue what either O’Rourke or Martinez do in practice. Hall & Evans is an insurance defense firm primarily, handling malpractice and employment defense. Hardly “ambulance chasing.” And CU’s legal counsel is not exactly what I’d call a community activist position, what with representing CU against Ward Churchill, and the like. But you’re entitled to your snap judgments.
I’m really going to hope you are right re TABOR. We’ll all be so much better off
The TABOR lawsuit is in United States District Court. The only supreme court that will hear that case is the U.S. Supreme Court not the Colorado Supreme Court.
Here are links to their applications. All kinds of interesting stuff (Martinez has an Australian Shepard named Luna.).

Not a single sitting court of appeals judge on the list, though several applied. O’Rourke is CU’s counsel in the Ward Churchill case, which, if O’Rourke were appointed, could set up that case being heard by only 6 justices and the possibility of a 3-3 split.
really not much else to say in this post other than the fact that it’s beyond remarkable that there are no qualified women who made the shortlist of final nominees.
I’m a little surprised that none of the 3 finalists were women either, given the number of qualified women attorneys in practice or already on the bench…
