4 jillion lawsuits

someone said there were 425 lawsuits ready to be files when 1284 got signed.

is this happening?

I kidof expected a biggie to get filed and for their to be some news. (i.e. the 5 patient caregiver limit, and a westword or huff post article by the corry's talking about how they are about to kick ass)

?

I am like you and expected something by now. All the lawyers etc talked about how they were going to do this or that the second it was signed and how they had everything ready. Now it has been signed and time for action and NOTHING!

A great attorney in Ned is Susan Eisman 303 258 3064, she has been a great asset to Grateful Meds. :thumbsup:

I love how Corry was always talking here and there about how unconsititional of 5 patient law is and how this or that is wrong etc and how he was going to file a civil case and how the laws for the 30/70 were wrong and he was going to do this or that what the Gov signed the bill. Well it's signed...where is he now? I think some people just like PR and making a name for themselfs.

It's appearing to me to be another reactive situation instead of a proactive one.

Kind of like, let's wait until somebody is busted and then we'll file a suit.

Ugh!

I'm just waiting to see how this is all going to play out.....hopefully, not at my expense!

That would be an understatement!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

LOL, she is a character! Kewl as hell, I respect her.

The time frame for lawsuits isn't days, but months and years. It will take time. Sure, Corry could go to federal court and ask for an injunction, but the chances of a federal judge granting one are slim. I'd rather activist attorneys with limited resources take their time and concentrate on finding one perfect case to push than dissipate their efforts. Patience, patients!

Unless the law is obviously unconstitutional you need a Plantiff (someone the new law damaged) to file a suit that has a chance of winning. Since the new law is yet to go into effect until July 1st, it has yet to leave victims in its wake.

At this stage a lawsuit would be a waste. Judges are lothe to rule against the state unless blantant constitutional flaws exist in the law. It is their job to interept the law, not make it.

I would bet that July 1st there will be a flurry of legal activity. That is when it will get busy. Past that point I have no idea how this will play out.

It also takes time for a case to work its way through the courts. Lots of time. I would hope a judge issues a TRO while this happens.

Copobo had it right aways back when he said "The game changes."

You are correct. I keep thinking the bill turned into law when the governor signed it and it's in effect now.

It's people like you who keep people like me in the "know" in a tactful way, thanks.

Hope that makes sense??

agreed!

I just need a good morale boost. lol

I have a friend who works for a printing press who once offered to help me make pamphlets for my caregiver services....maybe some other pamphlets are in order...

Anybody have any ideas on placement/distribution? Lets run with this!

How about a billboard at I-70/I-25 with some clever remark.

feel free. I posted a large version on here somewhere.

if you actually are going to print it, I'll redo it so it's nicer..

that Romer guy... he's one evil bastard. only cares about self-aggrandizement and not ONE BIT about taking care of those he should be protecting. His treatment of MMJ patients will spill over into everything he touches. it will be the scar that never heals.

if you sell this, you must send me nugs :rastasmoke:

This kind of acrimony is silly. Just because you and he disagree about business regulation does not mean he is a monster. Romer has always been a friend of education, and the ACLU ranks him very highly (92%) on his defense of civil rights and civil liberties.

you've gotta be kidding me. he's a fucken liar.

the ACLU loves him for trying to get in-state tuition for illegal alians in Colorado.

It would be nice if he gave a damn about Colorado patients - and he most certainly does not.

He's just looking for the limelight, and the mmj issue was the brightest opportunity for press this session - and after his last failed 'big' legislation - he was willing to do whatever it took to pass his fucken bill. Even if it meant creating a bad bureaucracy and hurting Colorado's most vulnerable - the patient and the small business owner!

this kind of acrimony is well deserved, and I hope he is voted out of office and never again is able to railroad a process with such disregard for the Constitution. He is an evil mofo, and don't you forget it.

Greene: Overexposed Sen. Romer likes the limelight
By Susan Greene
Denver Post Columnist
POSTED: 05/13/2010 01:00:00 AM MDT

I did not sit, day after day, at the Capitol, and so I can't speak with authority on which lawmakers were the most persuasive, hardworking or powerful this session.

But as a news watcher, I can say who was most overexposed.

Chris Romer is a first-term state senator who's quick to tell you he's the son of the former governor, even if you don't need to be told.

If there's a reporter's notebook, a microphone or TV camera in the room, the Denver Democrat is likely to find them. If there was an issue making news on any given day, he was quick with a bill in response. His legislation in some cases seemed ripped quite literally from the headlines. All too often during the 120-day session, it was all Romer, all the time.

It's customary at the statehouse for lawmakers to introduce a maximum of five measures, although there are plenty of exceptions. By my count, Romer sponsored five times that many â?? nine Senate bills and three resolutions, plus 12 bills and one resolution in the House.

"What can I say? I've got lots of energy," he says. "I'm good at moving the dialogue."

Romer began the session huffing about the need for medical- marijuana legislation. If it was unclear where he stood on the issue, that's because actual policies seemed to matter less than the fevered publicity of his involvement. After months closely tracking his proposed legislation, even Colorado's most active pro-cannabis advocate isn't clear whose side he was

on.
"We could never figure out if he was out there to help patients or help law enforcement. His stance was ever-shifting, depending on who was his audience," says Brian Vicente of Sensible Colorado.

Romer called me in January to cover his scheme to ask fellow lawmakers to try pot for a day. Weeks later â?? and after much mockery â?? he suggested in front of a crowd of lawyers that it was my crazy idea.

Then came his bill to restore streetcars to Colfax Avenue, a plan the mayoral hopeful says is a longtime dream. It just happens, he says, that he introduced it shortly after John Hickenlooper signaled a potential vacancy in the mayor's office by announcing his run for governor. All politics, after all, is local.

"Oh no," he says, "that was just a coincidence."

Who could forget Romer's bill to pay students to read â?? proposed the day after Time magazine published a cover story on the idea?

"OK. You got me on that one," he tells me. "But I was thinking about it long before the session."

Ever the self-promoter, Romer describes his collaborative success in curbing payday loans as nothing short of miraculous. "It was a miracle win," he says of a bill to regulate payday loans.

Call me cynical. But, given widespread outrage about predatory lending these days, a miracle it was not.

Romer, like most of his colleagues, had his wins and losses. I credit him for being a good sport acknowledging, if only in hindsight, that his lawmaking style is a little like Larry King's approach to marriage: Just try it and see what sticks.

We have eight months until the 2011 session and a year until the mayoral election. Meantime, he wants you to know that he can't help if the news media keep calling.

"I do like a good fight, and so does the press," he says. "Nobody covers a license-plate bill."

You seem to stand up for Romer. Are you by chance one of the people Romer claimed to have talked to before passing all this bs?

Romer likes press coverage. The same is true of every politician, especially during an election.
