Colorado Civil Unions: Gov. Hickenlooper Announces Special Session To Readdress House's Killed Bills


An emotional Gov. John Hickenlooper held a press conference Wednesday afternoon announcing a special legislative session that would be used to readdress some of the bills that were killed by yesterday's House Republican leadership, including the high profile same-sex civil unions bill.

"I don't control the Senate or the House, you may have noticed that," the governor joked. "But I can try to channel the energy of the people of Colorado." And Hickenlooper intends to do that by holding a special session where the House will have a chance to call the civil unions bill--and several others related to safety, the economy and unemployment the governor suggested--as soon as Monday or Friday.

3. Word from TJ

"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors." - Thomas Jefferson
