The critical part is that the bill allows eligibility to be challenged in court, which means that any relevant records could be subpoenaed. What is specifically asked for is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that the people have a right to challenge eligibility. Because of the severability clause, that provision would remain in place even if the required documentation was found to be unconstitutional.

Which is why Brewer’s comments make absolutely no sense. What she gave is actually a reason to SIGN the bill, because it gives the people the ability to hold a Secretary of State accountable THROUGH a court - which is the proper avenue for deciding controversies of fact and law.

Strange, I'm a subscriber (or fan) of Brewer on Facebook and she's been a straight-shooter, very un-politically correct, provocative and Sarah Palin like with her agenda.

Because of that I'm going to hold my fire a bit. If she had the history of someone like Boehner, I'd immediately be POed.

It's strange that she vetoed the bill.
