Not long ago, I wrote an email to a staffer at the State Supreme Court. I said, in part:
I have yet to see a single thing involving ethics that the Supreme Court has done that I thought was in good faith. I don't trust you folks. I don't have a reason to trust you folks. Interactions like this don't build trust.
In this same vein, I heard a rumor that some (unnamed) someone had offered the State Supreme Court a promise of a new building if only the Court would find the illegal property tax imposed by Governor Ritter and his Democrat legislature was constitutional.
That would explain why Bill Ritter seems so confident that the State Supreme Court will rule his way.
If the Court is dumb enough to appear to be bought and if the legislature is dumb enough to send a hundred million their way immediately after the ruling, Colorado will have a black eye for years to come.
Again, this is a rumor, but a rumor that might have some substance.
Added: Usually, I run spell check on my stuff, but I was in a Sudafed induced fog when I wrote this. It was nice of Ben to quote me, but embarrassing to find two spelling errors in it - actually typos, but the same thing.
