Colorado files petition for rehearing en banc in Guarantee Clause case

I've blogged about the Tenth Circuit's decision on Kerr v. Hickenlooper, which extended legislative standing and found the Guarantee Clause justiciable for legislators challenging an initiative that requires tax increases to be approved by the voters before taking effect. (I wrote a piece for Jurist on the matter here.) The Governor has petitioned the Tenth Circuit for rehearing en banc; the petition is available at Scribd here.
