And wingnut Gov. Jan Brewer is hopping mad. (via AZProgress)
Today in a simple two page ruling of appointed Gov. Brewer's request for an expedited hearing on this week's lower court gutting of SB 1070, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled, "To the extent that appellants seek to expedite the appeal beyond the provisions of Ninth Circuit Rule 3-3(b), appellants' motion is denied." The Court further ordered, "The Clerk shall calendar this case during the week of November 1, 2010 in San Francisco, California."
In what can only be seen as yet another political maneuver appointed Gov. Jan Brewer today reacted to the Appellate Court's decision by threatening a special session to "fix" SB 1070.
This tactic is yet another political ploy. SB 1070 created a smoke screen for the accidental governor masking Brewer's complete void of any vision for creating jobs, improving tourism and housing markets and upgrading Arizona's education system.
Brewer is riding a slippery slope on one ski - SB 1070. She has failed to notice that the ground is softening under her and that her "single issue" agenda is not going to carry her through the General Election.
