Colorado civil unions bill killed before reaching House floor
Legislation to create civil unions died even faster during the special session that began Monday than it did during the regular session that ended last week. The House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee shot down the bill on a 5-4 party-line vote, stopping it from getting to the House floor, where it likely would have passed, with a handful of Republicans joining Democrats.

Internet crackdown shows cracks as Sen. Bennet of Colorado backs away from anti-piracy legislation
Allison Sherry writes:
Last year, the Senate version passed unanimously out of a committee with broad Republican and Democratic support. Sen. Michael Bennet, a Democrat, was among 40 co-sponsors of the legislation. But Tuesday, Bennet backed away from supporting it in its current form.
Sen. Mark Udall, also a Colorado Democrat, does not support the measure. He said Tuesday that it could be “a bill looking for a problem.”
Rep. Jared Polis, a Boulder Democrat and an Internet entrepreneur, has been a leading opponent of the measure. In protest, Polis entered the lyrics of “The Internet Is for Porn” into the Congressional Record in December.
