Colorado Gun Law - Recalls

Sen Morse is asking the state supreme court to declare parts of the state constitution unconstitutional in an effort to beat the recall by getting it called off.

Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo face separate recall elections in their districts on Sept. 10. Voters will be asked whether the lawmakers should be recalled and which candidate should succeed them.
The Colorado constitution requires voters to vote "yes" or "no" on the recall question in order to have their vote for a successor be counted, but that provision could be in conflict with the U.S. Constitution, said Attorney General John Suthers.
He said a nearly identical provision in the California state constitution was declared unconstitutional during the recall of Gov. Gray Davis in 2003.

Well, who knows. He sounds mighty nervous in any case.
