Incredible. Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey will elevate Bill Montgomery, one of America's most reactionary prosecutors, to the state Supreme Court. An absolute nightmare for equal justice in Arizona.
slate.com/news-and-polit…
To elevate Montgomery, Ducey added two seats to the Arizona Supreme Court, then replaced Montgomery's opponents on the judicial nominating commission with conservative allies. Ducey has spent years laying the groundwork for this moment.
Just to repeat: A Republican governor added seats to his state Supreme Court so he could appoint more Republican judges. Then he replaced every Democrat on the judicial nominating commission with Republicans and GOP-allied "independents" so he could put Montgomery on the court.
So Arizona's newest Supreme Court justice is a man who hates LGBTQ people, who opposes all criminal justice reform, who thinks veterans who use marijuana are the "enemy," and who allegedly covered up a sexual harassment scandal in his own office. Great. slate.com/news-and-polit…
