Oral Argument in Coats case

Courtesy of Rachel K. Gillette, Esq, here’s the link to this morning’s oral argument before the Colorado Supreme Court in Coats v. Dish Network.  [Note-there’s a 19 minute delay].  Here are the issues before the Court:

Whether the Lawful Activities Statute, C.R.S. section 24-34-402.5, protects employees from discretionary discharge for lawful use of medical marijuana outside the job where the use does not affect job performance.
Whether the Medical Marijuana Amendment makes the use of medical marijuana ‘lawful’ and confers a right to use medical marijuana to persons lawfully registered with the state

The Supreme Court is reviewing a 2-1 decision of the Colorado Court of Appeals ruling that the Lawful Activities statute requires the activity to be lawful under state and federal law. 

Courtesy of Doug, here’s a post explaining the  facts and significance of the case.
