AZ: Abortion-rights supporters unmoved by Supreme Court justice's defense 1864 ban decision
A day after Arizona Supreme Court Justice Clint Bolick publicly outlined why he thinks it’s misguided for voters to oust judges over unpopular rulings, two groups signaled they will continue to urge his removal from the bench.
Progress Arizona, a liberal advocacy organization, was unfazed by the opinion piece Bolick wrote for The Arizona Republic in which he warned against a judiciary shaped by partisan politics.
That group quickly said it planned to raise money and conduct an education campaign aimed at removing Bolick and Justice Kathryn H. King from the bench in the November elections.
After Bolick’s opinion Monday, Alex Alvarez, the executive director of Progress Arizona, said it’s “definitely full-steam ahead” with their efforts to unseat the justices appointed by former Gov. Doug Ducey.
“This process of judicial retentions was specifically created and enshrined in our constitution to vote out extreme, activist judges like we currently have on the court,” Alvarez said. “This is definitely a campaign to unpack this court, so to speak. The reason that Gov. Ducey packed the court was to ensure that decisions like this were made.”
