Fun fact: As part of Arizona Open Meeting law, meeting notices must be posted in hard copy and on the Agency website. Go find the meeting notice for the Monday 9 am meeting. Don't worry, I'll wait right here.
*15 minutes later* Tired of clicking broken links on the ADE website? Frustrated by the fact that the meeting notice page at ADE doesn't work and the meeting is not on the calendar? Good, this is part of the plan.
The page you want is here: azsbe.az.gov Bookmark this!
Now, open the agenda for the meeting on Monday. When will we hear about action against teacher licenses?
Where agencies always hide issues that will provoke public outcry: Agenda Item 5(L)!
Note that the item is: "Presentation, discussion and possible action regarding the Board's authority to take disciplinary action against certified educators."
On its face, this presentation could be about anything. Professional boards have a crazy amount of power and discretion (this is a topic for another day). Douglas confirmed yesterday that this is about the walkout.
So-- be prepared to settle in for a LONG meeting.
I'll be there and will tweet for those who cannot be there.
Monday, June 25 @ 9:00 am in the Arizona Department of Education, Room 122. 1535 W. Jefferson. See you soon! #RedForEd

And so it begins. This may be the most important hearing for abortion rights in Arizona's history.

Tune in here: publichearings.sc.pima.gov (room 475)
The first issues are largely procedural. Because of the age of this case (first filed in 1971), many of the original parties are deceased (passed beyond the jurisdiction of the court) and many of the doctors are no longer in practice.
Okay--here come the important arguments.

The AG is trying to argue that because the Supreme Court overruled Roe, the very old Arizona abortion law comes back in force.

Tuned in now.

The Court has asked what abortion laws are in force in Arizona in the moment. The answer is beyond confusing.
In SB1457, the legislature created an “interpretive rule” that a “person” includes a fertilized egg at any stage of gestation.

This sets up scenario where child neglect and homicide statutes apply to patients and doctors who access abortion.
The plaintiffs are arguing that this provision is vague—in part because it invites arbitrary enforcement and in part because it’s unclear how this interacts with other laws.

Even with today's news, abortion rights are still on the ballot for 4.5 million Arizonans in Maricopa County.

Are you going to sit on the sidelines and let @Rachel1Mitchell control your reproductive rights or are you going to get involved?

The County Attorney or District Attorney election just became the most important race on your ballot in 2022.
Here's why 🧵
The Supreme Court has voted to overturn Roe v. Wade in the face of decades of legal precedent and roll back the rights of millions in America.
Arizona is one of 23 states that will now use the criminal law and Supreme Court decision to ban abortion.

As a result of this decision, doctors’ offices will be treated as crime scenes, and reproductive decisions will be invasively monitored by prosecutors and police.

The Arizona District Court is hearing oral arguments on SB1457 RIGHT NOW. Follow @ncjwarizona and this thread to hear how it's going.
Kicking off and it's a hot bench (that means that the judge has a lot of questions).

Of note at the outset, the judge has adopted the language of the Plaintiffs that this is a "Reason Ban" and not a "Non-discrimination Provision" as the Attorney General argues.
At issue is the prohibition against physicians providing abortions to people who are carrying fetuses with genetic abnormalities.

I was a student at the University of Notre Dame Law School while Amy Coney Barrett was a professor.
While she had a reputation for collegiality and excellence in the classroom, the biggest lesson she taught me was that a person could be kind and civil while embracing an ideology that regards some individuals worthy of fewer rights and less freedom.
Make no mistake about it: Judge Amy Coney Barrett is an extremist pick. Her record on reproductive rights, coverage for preexisting conditions, LGBTQ+ rights, and the dignity of work is abysmal.
