AZ Constitution
PART 2. THE LEGISLATURE § 1. Senate; house of representatives; members; special session upon petition of members; congressional and legislative boundaries; citizen commissions Section 1. states:
Independent Redistricting Committee consists of 5 members.

Member 1 = Picked by the Majority Leader of the State Senate. (R)
Member 2 = Picked by the Minority Leader of the State Senate. (D)
Member 3 = Picked by the Majority Leader of the State House. (R)
Member 4 = Picked by the Minority Leader of the State House. (D)

Then the hand picked appointees, equally divided must choose the 5th Member, who will lead the commission.

Member 5 = Chairman of the Committee

AZ Constitution states:
“At a meeting called by the secretary of state, the four independent redistricting commission members shall select by majority vote from the nomination pool a fifth member who shall not be registered with any party already represented on the independent redistricting commission and who shall serve as chair. If the four commissioners fail to appoint a fifth member within fifteen days, the commission on appellate court appointments or its designee, striving for political balance and fairness, shall appoint a fifth member from the nomination pool, who shall serve as chair. ”

Pretty clear, maybe the people who legislate our laws, should first know the laws they control, maybe “reading” them after ALEC writes them would help? maybe?

I’d settle for them following and enforcing the laws we have.

They clearly don’t have the competence to create legislation to force their agenda down our throats with a super majority and also do the job they were elected to do.

Once again, for the Republicans reading this…. They picked the members themselves, and law clearly states the committee’s ‘independent’ status, for sole purpose of eliminating the party in power from influencing redistricting.

AZ Supreme Court upheld the AZ Constitution and reinstated the Chairman, and definitively shows a clear violation of the oath she took to uphold the Constitution and laws as the State of Arizona’s Governor.

AZ State Constitution states:
“The independent redistricting commission shall have sole authority to determine whether the Arizona attorney general or counsel hired or selected by the independent redistricting commission shall represent the people of Arizona in the legal defense of a redistricting plan.”

We by law are supposed to be defending the Committee Chair. By not doing so, accompanied with even more litigation that has been expressly barred from the process would further violate our state constitution.

How is that possible? Who enforces the law when super majority of prude stupid idiots violate the Constitution they took an oath to protect and defend?

Our forefathers only gave us one tool to fix it, an election.

Maybe we could elect people based on “competence and tolerance” over pink underwear and legislating solely to litigate established law.

Arpaio is same, compare his legally defined job description, authorities, and jurisdiction to his actions without any federal investigations, his incompetence and flamboyance costs us in litigation, we pay. Leave Obama’s birth certificate to the professional idiots.

(p.s. the math says Hispanic citizens could essentially control all elected positions within the decade — which provides the missing peice: Motive.)
