Colorado Records Rat?: Steven Vasconcellos
Rabbi Jacob Bellinsky, fresh off a landmark Tenth Circuit victory, is now battling Colorado’s top judicial administrator over public records. In a Denver courtroom, Bellinsky accuses State Court Administrator Steven Vasconcellos of perjury for swearing “no records exist” about judicial misconduct complaints. Emails tell a different story. One August 2024 email assured Bellinsky complaints were “actively investigated.” Another November 2024 email admitted a misconduct memo was “completed back in August” but withheld for five months. Bellinsky says these contradictions prove a cover-up. He calls it “a constitutional emergency.” The case could force unprecedented transparency—or validate systemic concealment.
