DENVER (AP) -- The Colorado Supreme Court has upheld a decision by a Denver judge to put a hold on most of a voter-approved ban on some political contributions, siding with unions and nonprofit groups that challenged it as unconstitutional.
The high court agreed with Denver District Judge Catherine Lemon that provisions of Amendment 54 are unconstitutionally overbroad, vague and violate equal protection.
The court said Monday the amendment cannot be fixed because removing the unconstitutional sections leaves it meaningless. The court sent the case back to the judge, saying further review is needed.
