Both Lauren Boebert and Margorie Taylor Green are new members of the House Budget.....

....Committee. This will produce a critical mass of the crazy on the right side of the dais every time they meet. I'm sure neither will be satisfied to play second fiddle when it comes time to question a witness, not wanting to be anything less than the center of attention. The Repubs on the committee are going to need the Costco double pack of antacids when this happens. Maybe we shouldn't be in such a hurry to show either one of them to the door and maybe ask our Republican friends, as long as they are going to Costco, could they pick up some popcorn for us.

About three years ago, the Garfield County Court ordered Colorado congressional candidate Lauren Boebert to garnish the wages of an employee at her restaurant, Shooters Grill.

Boebert ignored the order. Over a period of ten months in 2017, she and her employee, who’d been sued for failing to pay a personal debt, continued to be nonresponsive to the court and the lawyers involved.

Eventually, the Garfield Court ordered Boebert to participate in a hearing via telephone, but she skipped the call, leaving other attorneys waiting for her on the phone.

The judge and the attorney for the debt collector, Professional Finance Company, were “present by phone” according to the case summary (here, here, here, here) and other case documents obtained by the Colorado Times Recorder from the Garfield Court via a records request.

But no Boebert.

Then she didn’t appear for a second court hearing, after being served a formal order to do so.

Judge Jonathan Pototsky’s default judgment required Shooters Grill to pay $2,578, which included the initial debt of the employee, plus attorney’s fees, court costs, and interest.

She a perfect candidate to have anywhere near financial matters.
