Phil Weiser: “Our state under the U.S. constitution and has sovereignty…”

“I'm going to stand up for Colorado and our sovereignty and our rights. I do believe no matter what political party you are in, everyone should agree on the following. Our state under the U.S. constitution and has sovereignty. We manage elections, the time, place and manner. That's our constitutional right. We manage our criminal justice system. The fact that this president has run roughshod over the Constitution, seeking to dictate to us and take away our rights, that's not okay with me as attorney general.” (14:10–14:19)
