Morally, it should not be this way, of course. And I truly hope the voters of Arizona nuke the legislature and court system that let this happen, and applaud both the AG and Governor. But legally, their ruling is correct.
Ta, Dok. Many of my fellow Wonketteers are aware of my history with voting, but others don't know. When I was 15 and 16 I carried petitions door-to-door to get 18-year-olds the right to vote. Yes, we used the Vietnam war as our rallying cry (old enough to fight, old enough to vote), and succeeded. I turned 18 in 1972, the first year 18-year-olds could vote. I have voted in EVERY D primary and EVERY general, every year since. I wish my fellow Americans took voting as seriously as do I.
With their reactionary position on so many issues and continued ardent support of Donald Trump, The GOP has to be alienating millions of voters. They've become the "Old Time
Republicans seem to be of the opinion that not only are women second class citizens but that every man in America is an outright Chauvinist gun nut. Pretty sure they are missing the call. at least I hope so.
"never mind the weird New York Times claim that the ladies will all forget by November." NPR had some woman on yesterday saying the same thing about the abortion issue, she said it didn't look like the issue was moving the needle the way some anticipated. Oh really, most gals are OK with being second class citizens whose wombs belong to the state? See you in November.
Since they seem to have a fondness for 19th century law, we should insist that they re-instate Wyatt Earp's "no guns in town" rule at least for the City of Tombstone if not State wide. Show them that Liberals might find some 19th century laws appealing too.
I thought I read that two of the RWNJs were up for retention this November. If so, they're toast & will be replace by two sane Democrats appointed by Hobbs.
Once again, the lesson that liberals refuse to learn: Anyone who thinks government should be "neutral" is going to be screwed by those who don't. Therefore, pack the courts with leftists, lest the right packs the courts. Censor bigots, lest bigots censor you. Arrest fascists, lest fascists arrest you.
There can NEVER be peaceful co-existence between those who want progress and those who want tradition or are "undecided."
So, a woman has to adhere to a law from the 1860s when considering her personal health care, but gun-humpers aren't restricted to firearms that were available when the Second Amendment™ was drafted. Weird!
So what you're saying is, Democrats need to get in on this court packing thing.
zero liberals
But Dems always need to appoint centrics because reasons
Totes fine for Politico to talk about zero liberals and ignore the entire what, no centrics? Theme
EH look. Maybe actually read the ruling here, because it's the correct interpretation of events, legally, as they exist in Arizona today. https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/d011f2461ef65f0c/d2a77584-full.pdf

And yet calls for expanding the U.S. Supreme Court are reviled by republicans.

Also hilarious: this extremist ruling all but guarantees a huge turnout by pissed-off Arizona voters in November, on election day.
Oh, you’ve been to Phoenix!

Did the 1864 law say anything about sex shooters?
I happily signed that petition to get abortion rights on the ballot. Let's go, AZ! Let's get out of the dark ages the magats want us to stay in.
