Opinion: Amendment H is a misleading step backward that would further erode the public’s trust in Colorado courts

The Colorado Sun: The scales of justice would be weighted heavily in favor of troubled judges under Amendment H. Its hallmark is a secret appeal process focused on helping judges remain unaccountable. You see, Amendment H would allow judges to privately appeal discipline, but complainants whose complaints are initially dismissed (97.2% of all complaints filed by the public) wouldn’t get an appeal.

Colorado desperately needs judicial reform. I, and many others, sincerely wish Amendment H would do what proponents allege. Unfortunately, it makes a flawed system even worse.
