As the voter guide went off to the printer Monday, a court hearing in Denver on whether a legislative committeeunfairly struck key arguments in favorof the measure ended without resolution.

Richard Kaufman, an attorney representing the Colorado Legislative Council, which prints the voter guide, urged Denver District Senior Judge Leonard Plank to throw out the case. Kaufman said the separation of powers precludes Plank from making any changes to the voter guide.

"There is no jurisdiction in this court," Kaufman said.

Plank set a hearing for Wednesday afternoon for both sides to debate the jurisdiction question.
