Tensions hit a breaking point on May 29, when the Jefferson County Education Association (JCEA)—representing roughly a quarter of Jeffco’s 5,000 teachers—declared a vote of no confidence in Superintendent Tracy Dorland. The move came just days before news broke of a federal Title IX investigation into the district.

Federal judge upholds Colorado’s 21+ gun law, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners vow to appeal

The Colorado Sun, Approved, State / / , , , , ,

Colorado’s law requiring people to be at least 21 years old to buy a gun can stand, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

The ruling is a definitive win for gun control advocates and a blow to the group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and two young people hoping to purchase guns, who sued Gov. Jared Polis to block the law in 2023. Chief U.S. District Judge Philip A. Brimmer sided with Polis and said in his ruling that the plaintiffs could not prove that the law violated their rights.

“Plaintiffs cannot establish a violation of a right secured by the Constitution or that they have suffered an irreparable injury from such a violation,” Brimmer wrote.

The law, passed in 2023, changed the minimum age to purchase all guns in Colorado to 21 from 18 and added criminal penalties for purchasers and firearm sellers.

DENVER — A state employee has sued Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D), alleging that the governor has ordered state employees to illegally share personal information about sponsors of undocumented minors with federal immigration agents in violation of laws Polis, himself, has signed.

Scott Moss, the Director of the Division of Labor Standards and Statistics in Colorado’s Department of Labor and Employment, filed the lawsuit in Denver District Court on Wednesday, seeking to block Polis from requiring disclosure of personal identifying information (PII) to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in response to an administrative subpoena, not one signed by a judge or issued by a court.

Power Behind the Pen: Trump Launches DOJ Review of Biden’s Executive Orders

Washington Examiner, Approved, National / / , , , , ,

President Donald Trump has ordered an unprecedented investigation into former President Joe Biden‘s administration amid concerns his predecessor and his aides covered up his cognitive decline.

“In recent months, it has become increasingly apparent that former President Biden’s aides abused the power of Presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden’s cognitive decline and assert Article II authority,” Trump wrote in a presidential memorandum signed on Wednesday. “This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.”

Colorado is on a roll. Violating religious liberty and compelling free speech are two issues that Colorado Courts have already been reprimanded for. Our Courts lost two civil rights lawsuits – Masterpiece Cake Shop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission and 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis – in addition to being overturned by the United States Supreme Court in the decision that was supposed to throw Donald Trump off the 2024 Colorado Presidential Election ballot. Now, we are doing it all over again.
