CO-AG: Griswold (D) falsely claims she argued before the Supreme Court

[RandySF]

DENVER — The leading Democratic candidate for Colorado Attorney General has embellished her resume, which is thin on courtroom experience.

Secretary of State Jena Griswold, who is seeking the Democratic nomination to replace term-limited Attorney General Phil Weiser, is falsely claiming that she has argued a case before the United States Supreme Court.

Griswold has not argued a case before the United States Supreme Court. Griswold was a party to Trump v Anderson, in which anti-Trump Republicans and unaffiliated voters in Colorado sued Griswold as Secretary of State to force her to remove Trump’s name from the ballot for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol by Trump supporters.

9NEWS legal analyst Scott Robinson, a criminal defense attorney with decades of experience including arguing a case before the Supreme Court, called Griswold’s claim “inaccurate and, quite frankly, a misrepresentation.”

1. I wish she would answer this accusation if she hasn't already done so. It is too easy for politicians to overclaim

in the heat of the moment, but I'm not going to hold it against her because she has done such a good job as secretary of state. The attorney general's principal job is to run an office of prosecutors, not be an active prosecutor.
