Denver November 2004 Election
John Suthers nomination for State Attorney General cleared the committee hurdle stage yesterday and now goes to the full Senate, according to the Denver Post [February 1, 2005, "Nominee for AG heads to full Senate"]. From the article, "Senators asked him whether he would support laws that he personally opposed - such as abortion rights, affirmative action and medical marijuana. Suthers said his job is to uphold the state's laws and that he would enforce laws even if he did not agree with them. The hearing provided a glimpse into the politics of the Capitol. Sen. Dan Grossman, D-Denver, presided over the panel's inquiry but declined to vote because he plans to run for attorney general next year."
Here's the coverage from the Rocky Mountain News [February 1, 2005, "Suthers step closer to AG"].
Update: 5280 Weblog: "Colorado Attorney General Nominee John Suthers, currently the U.S. Attorney for Colorado, sailed through his confirmation hearing, if you go by the vote total [~] it was 6-0 for confirmation. But, eight people took the time to address the commmittee in person and air their complaints with Suthers."
