The Democrats who run the Colorado legislature were wrong to use speed-reading computers to combat the GOP’s attempt to delay liberal legislation, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled Monday.
In a 4-3 decision issued two years to the week since unintelligible speed-reading debuted on the state Senate floor, the high court said that the use of computer programs in that case was unconstitutional.
“There are unquestionably different ways by which the legislature may comply with the (bill) reading requirement,” the court stated. “But the cacophony generated by the computers here isn’t one of them.”
The ruling confirms a previous ruling at the district court level. It’s a win for Republicans, who sued Senate Democratic leadership.

Slow down and read the bill. It isn't rocket science.
