Sure, it's been hot for most of Colorado lately. But one city in particular has been exceptionally warm.

Now is the time for the governor to reign in unelected officials, take back his order, re-work it, and immediately begin to restore freedom and responsibility to Colorado businesses to save our state.

When the first murmur of a new virus issued forth we were celebrating the end of a decade and the arrival of a new year. One hundred days later, millions were locked down in an eerily still world, and we were left wondering what hit us, our heads spinning with disbelief.

Each of us is morally and ethically called upon to do the right thing, make sacrifices, and take the necessary steps to keep our family, friends, co-workers and community safe.

Poisonous rhetoric Re: “Inside state’s growing anti-shutdown movement,” April 27 news story and “Polis responds to lawmaker’s criticism of stay-home order,” April 16 news story In a world of social distancing, words are often our only means of communication. I am disconcerted that those in the anti-shutdown movement use them to divide our community. The chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, Ken Buck, draws an inaccurate parallel between feared Marxist regimes and Gov. Jared Polis’ actions to carefully preserve public health and production at the same time.

Sixty years ago, a young president urged us to ask what we could do for our country. We have not heard that challenge since. But now our health and economic threats require us to renew that challenge and recover the ideal of service.

How strong is our economy if it can’t absorb shocks? If growth comes at a great expense to future generations? And where is the scorecard that tells us how we are actually doing?

A document created by the nation's top disease investigators with step-by-step advice to local authorities on how and when to reopen restaurants and other public places during the still-raging outbreak has been shelved by the Trump administration.

The decision to wear a mask in public is becoming a political statement — a moment to pick sides in a brewing culture war over containing the coronavirus.

A unanimous Supreme Court on Thursday threw out the convictions of two political insiders involved in the “Bridgegate” scandal that ultimately derailed the 2016 presidential bid of then-New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. The justices found evidence of deception, corruption and abuse of power in the scheme, but said “not every corrupt act by state or local officials is a federal crime.”

The Justice Department on Thursday said it is dropping the criminal case against President Donald Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, abandoning a prosecution that became a rallying cry for the president and his supporters in attacking the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation.

Local government orders mandating residents wear masks have become a political flash point in Colorado’s ongoing coronavirus pandemic response.

The Weld County GOP chairman has filed a complaint with the local district attorney and the Secretary of State’s Office accusing an aide to Republican U.S. Rep. Ken Buck and three others of election fraud and corruption.

(United States Third Circuit) - Affirmed a conviction and sentence for possession of heroin with intent to distribute. The defendant argued that the trial court should have suppressed evidence obtained during a traffic stop because he had revoked his consent to the search. He also argued that he should not have been deemed a career offender under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. The Third Circuit rejected his contentions, in a decision in which each judge filed a concurring opinion, including the author of the majority opinion.

(United States Third Circuit) - Affirmed the denial of habeas corpus relief in a case where the defendant was challenging his sentence by arguing that the residual clause in the career offender Sentencing Guideline is unconstitutionally vague. The defendant argued that his habeas petition raising this constitutional issue was timely manner because the Supreme Court's decision in Johnson v. US, 135 S. Ct. 2551 (2015), gave rise to a newly recognized right, thus providing him a year from when Johnson was decided to file his habeas petition. On appeal, the Third Circuit agreed with the government that his petition was untimely.

(United States Third Circuit) - Affirmed a conviction and sentence related to the defendant's participation in a string of bank robberies. The case was on remand from the Supreme Court, which had granted the defendant's petition for writ of certiorari, vacated the Third Circuit's 2013 judgment, and remanded for reconsideration in light of Alleyne v. US, 570 U.S. 99 (2013). After reviewing the defendant's arguments under Alleyne as well as other arguments he raised, the Third Circuit affirmed the conviction and sentence.

(United States Third Circuit) - Affirmed in part and reversed in part the convictions of a former Congressman and three of his associates for campaign finance-related offenses arising from his unsuccessful 2006 run for mayor of Philadelphia. Each of the defendants was convicted on multiple counts, and then appealed on numerous grounds. The Third Circuit vacated convictions on some of the counts but reinstated others and in other respects affirmed the trial court's judgment.

(United States Third Circuit) - Vacated a mandatory minimum sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA). After pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, the defendant challenged his 15-year sentence, arguing that he was sentenced under a portion of the ACCA later held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Finding merit in his contentions, the Third Circuit remanded for an analysis of whether the error of treating his Pennsylvania robbery convictions as predicate offenses under the ACCA was harmless in light of his other prior convictions.

(United States Third Circuit) - Affirmed convictions of several individuals who were charged with crimes in connection with a ticket-fixing scheme in the Philadelphia Traffic Court. Some of the individuals pleaded guilty while others proceeded to trial and were acquitted of fraud and conspiracy counts but convicted of perjury for statements they made before the grand jury. The Third Circuit consolidated their appeals for efficiency and ultimately affirmed all of the convictions.

(United States Third Circuit) - Held that a prisoner was entitled to habeas relief in the wake of the Supreme Court's 2015 decision invalidating a provision of the Armed Career Criminal Act. The defendant, who was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm, argued that his previous crimes were not violent felonies in light of Johnson v. U.S. and therefore his enhanced sentence was now unconstitutional. On appeal, the Third Circuit agreed that at least one of the predicate offenses (Pennsylvania aggravated assault) was not a violent felony, and therefore vacated the district court's order and remanded the case for resentencing.

(United States Third Circuit) - Affirmed the suppression of evidence on the ground that a police officer impermissibly extended a traffic stop. The defendant vehicle passenger, who was discovered to have a handgun and later indicted for unlawful possession of it, argued that the traffic stop was unlawfully extended beyond the time when it should have ended. Agreeing, the Third Circuit affirmed the granting of his motion to suppress the handgun evidence.

(United States Third Circuit) - Reinstated a False Claims Act lawsuit alleging fraud in connection with the sale of pharmaceutical drugs to nursing homes. The defendant company, which owns and operates institutional pharmacies, argued for dismissal of the qui tam action on the ground that the allegation was already known to the public, and the district court agreed. Reversing and remanding, the Third Circuit held that the relator's allegation had not previously been publicly disclosed.

(United States Third Circuit) - Denied an alien's petition for review of a decision ordering him removed from the United States. The Board of Immigration Appeals had ruled that the citizen of Cameroon, who entered the U.S. on a student visa in 1989, was ineligible for waiver of removal because his felony conviction of making false statements about a sham marriage constituted a crime involving moral turpitude. On appeal, the Third Circuit agreed that the man was not eligible for a fraud waiver, and thus denied his petition for review.

(United States Third Circuit) - Affirmed a brother's and sister's convictions and life sentences for conspiracy to commit interstate stalking and cyberstalking resulting in death. The two siblings were indicted after their father shot and killed the brother's ex-wife and himself. On appeal, the siblings both disputed the constitutionality of the statutes under which they were convicted and also brought numerous other challenges to their convictions and sentences. However, the Third Circuit affirmed the district court's decision in all respects, in a case that the appellate panel said involved numerous issues of first impression.
