Jared S. Polis, in his official capacity as Governor of the State of Colorado, Petitioner v. Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, a Colorado nonprofit corporation; Patrick Neville, Representative; Lori Saine, House Minority Leader; and Dave Williams, Representative. Respondents
Court of Appeals Case No. 20CA997
Petition for Writ of Certiorari GRANTED.
[REFRAMED] Whether the court of appeals misinterpreted Markwell v. Cooke, 2021 CO 17, in ruling that the plaintiffs' complaint asserting lack of compliance with the unanimity requirement of the Reading Clause, Colo. Const. art. V, § 22, "doesn't present a nonjusticiable political question."
[REFRAMED] Whether the court of appeals erred in concluding that two of the plaintiff legislators suffered an injury in fact for purposes of standing when their requests to have the "Red Flag Law" bill read in full before it was voted on were denied.
DENIED AS TO ALL OTHER ISSUES.
