State Senate Democrats put to a stop to all that accountability and transparency Republicans are demanding by killing their measure requiring public debate and justification before the governor can continually declare a state of emergency.

Gov. Polis has had complete autonomous rule over Colorado for more than a year now, distributing hundreds of millions in federal aid without legislative input, oversight, or approval.

The Democrat-controlled legislature has decided they like living under a dictatorship and defeated the measure in the Senate’s State, Veterans & Military Affairs committee.

Sponsored by Republican state Sen. Paul Lundeen of Colorado Springs, it required the General Assembly to approve extensions of the governor’s disaster emergency powers every 30 days.

Numerous states are reigning in their governor’s powers that stretched beyond all reasonableness during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Even though Gov. Polis has already foretold the end of the crisis in time for the MLB All-Stars game to host a full baseball park in Denver in the coming weeks, His Nibs insists on operating Colorado in an emergency state with unchecked powers and spending.

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)

[shanover]

Of course. The rats can get away with anything since a good portion of Colorado is weeded up and elections really don’t matter.

[coloradan]

Why, that’s awfully anti-democratic of them. Surprise, surprise.

How can we fix Colorados election system? It has been rigged since we got all mail ballots.

[george76]

40 of Colorado’s 64 counties reported registration rates that exceeded 100% of the eligible citizen voting-age population. . and Dominion machines connected to the internet / Venezuela.

Kill Bill?

Why not just throw Momma from the train?

[dynachrome]

As expected. Gov. polesmoker is our master now.

Well, here in Kentucky the state legislature finally reigned in Andy Beshear’s emergency powers and after overriding his veto, our corrupt state supreme court said he had the power anyway. Didn’t matter a good damn what the legislature said as far as they are concerned.

I’ve had it with the judicial system in this country. I also had it with leftist and their sick worship of the judicial system. Which I guess they only worship because they packed the courts for the last 60 years.

[MileHi]

Exactly. Would a federal lawsuit help? Where are CO Republicans?

[BenLurkin]

I just now got that.

[real saxophonist]

And if we got the Tyranny Response Team back together, we’d be called white supremacists, domestic terrorists, homophobes, and more of us would die mysteriously.

[G Larry]

Nope!

CO GOP are powerless, not gutless.

Elections have consequences.

Lib media won't air their concerns.

Big Tech keeps them in check too.

"Colorado Democrats kill bill to check Polis’s emergency powers..."

Colorado Democrats expatriot CA, NJ, IL, CT, MA, MD etc. democrat voters kill bill to check Polis’s emergency powers

[sevlex]

Don’t forget that the dems have monopolized power since we implemented all-mail voting.

Unless we get that process tossed out, the state will be doomed.

[G Larry]

Yep, the all mail in ballots killed fair elections in Colorado.

And now Prayer and Repentance is all that can save this Country.

[justme4now]

Why we've allowed the courts to take over and run this country, I will never understand!

Like this 2nd amendment issue going before the scotus ... They have no authority over the people's gun ownership .. every gun law is unconstitutional!

Maybe folks will understand after seeing the charts below?

[MileHi]

Elections have consequences.

FRAUD has consequences.
