On Friday, December 30, the justices on the Arizona Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision (justices Brutinel and Bolick recusing) upholding a decision by the Maricopa County Superior court, one overturned by the Arizona Court of Appeals, that summarily dismissed a 2019 lawsuit by some nonprofits against the Arizona Legislature.
From the decision by the supes -
Yes, they're ruling that (alleged) public servants acting in a manner that is contemptuous of the public constitutes a "nonjusticiable political question".
If this were football, that would be called "punting the ball away"...if the special teams unit for society and the officials for society were helping the other team.
The opinion by the AZ Supes is here.
The case number in Maricopa County Superior Court is CV2019-014945. The case history page is here.
