Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said this week he will vote to kick out three of the four Colorado Supreme Court justices in November’s retention election, according to The Business Word blog.
In a statement at an Arapahoe County Republican Men’s Club breakfast, Suthers said he will vote not to retain Chief Justice Mary Mullarkey and Justices Michael Bender and Alex Martinez, while voting to retain Justice Nancy Rice. Suthers could not be immediately reached to confirm this report. Suthers has openly speculated about partisan motives of the Supreme Court in the past.
The move was praised by Clear the Bench Colorado, the group advocating the ouster of all four justices up for retention.
