Judge
vs. Constitution
LTE from
reader May 22, 2002 edition of The Rocky Mountain News
| Rick Stanley, Libertarian
candidate for the U.S. Senate, recently came out on the
losing side in his trial for openly carrying a firearm in
defiance of Denver's unconstitutional city ordinance that
bans open carry despite the right being granted in the
both the U.S. and state constitutions. It seems, according to the Stanley Web site, that the presiding judge instructed defense attorney Paul Grant not to reference the U.S. Constitution in the proceedings, including voir dire, opening remarks, when summoning witnesses, or during closing arguments. How is this possible in a court of law supposedly following the rule of law? How can a Denver County Court judge "repeal" the very Constitution he pledged to defend? E. Robert Schroeder |
