Rule of law requires rogue GOP supervisors in an Arizona county to be prosecuted, not just recalled

You'd think that asking a county employee to do something that was illegal, and then suing her when she refused to break the law, would be an easy call when it came to enforcing the law. On top of that, having to dig $30,000 out of county funds to pay legal fees because of their actions, and then refusing to obey their oath of office, and disobeying a direct court order to do something required by law would tend to add up.

If an "ordinary person" like most of us had committed that many violations of the law in, say, a traffic case, we'd be a month or so into our 90 day jail sentence by now and someone else would be sitting in our seat on the county board of supervisors. But these people are Republicans in a Republican county in a state that has only recently shown signs of a leftward shift. The "rule of law" doesn't apply to them, in their minds, it is OK to break the law in order to fix an election with an outcome they don't like. The law should only be applied here when Democrats do this, not Republicans. Or so goes their reasoning.

I hope the Arizona attorney general takes the letter writers suggestion, along with that of a whole host of angry residents of Cochise County, Arizona, and prosecutes these two supervisors to the full extent of the law.
