Description
In this C.A.R. 50 certiorari proceeding, the petitioners -- a member of the General Assembly's house of representatives, a Colorado citizen, and Colorado Common Cause, a non-profit corporation organized as a "watchdog" for the stated purpose of improving governmental institutions (hereinafter "Common Cause") -- seek review of a district court's order dismissing their complaint, which alleged that the respondents, caucus members of the majority party in the house of representatives, violated article V, section 22a, of the Colorado Constitution. Common Cause asserts that the district court erred in dismissing its complaint on the ground that the caucus members-legislators were absolutely immune from suit under the state constitution's speech-or-debate clause, Colo. Const. art. V, § 16. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand with directions.
