Do you think the goal of the Arizona Supreme Court was or is to trigger a ballot initiative that will mostly motivate Trump-haters to come out and vote?
I’m inclined to think that the SCoAZ ruled as they did with the Federal apparatus out of the way.
Roadblocks removed, they looked at the laws they had “on the books” and ruled in that manner; regardless of it being a territorial law.
There were no other laws to rule on?
SCoAZ says, let’s push the reset button and let We the People of AZ tell us if the law is off-base.
This is how the Constitution was intended to work.
10th Amendment.
No.
From their decision.
“The legislature has demonstrated its consistent design to restrict elective abortion to the degree permitted by the Supremacy Clause and an unwavering intent since 1864 to proscribe elective abortions absent a federal constitutional right … To date, our legislature has never affirmatively created a right to, or independently authorized, elective abortion. We defer, as we are constitutionally obligated to do, to the legislature’s judgment, which is accountable to, and thus reflects, the mutable will of our citizens.”
