As others have said, it seems like a good idea in theory, but extremely leery with those that are supporting it.
No, you're misinterpreting what people mean by the "independent" members being libs. Its not that "independents are just [insert other side]" its that one can go online and change their party affiliation in a matter of minutes so there's a good chance that the "independent" (and maybe even the Republican) members of the commission will be former Democrats. Because the commission will be picked by a bunch of retired judges hand picked by the chief justice of the CO Supreme Court (who is a leftist).
