What to do when you lose at the ballot box? Sue the victor, of course!

More on that in a moment on the Face The State Radio Minute.

Mark Grueskin, the attorney to the stars who represents just about every liberal politico in Colorado, threatens a “stampede” to the courthouse over the passage of Amendment 54. That initiative, one of the few to win approval from voters this election, prohibits the holders of government no-bid contracts from making political contributions to the officials who granted the business. That’s a practice called pay-to-play, and barring such shenanigans is a big step toward clean government.

But Grueskin and Co. just can’t stand the thought of voters cleaning up government, especially when it affects their friends in organized labor. Collective bargaining counts under 54 as a no-bid contract.

This isn’t about constitutionality; it’s about a small cabal of special interests protecting their government handouts. Grueskin’s legal “stampede” should be short-lived.
