Hopefully setting a precedent for other states in similar situations. The states need to stop relying on the fed to protect them from radicals and get it done themselves. Their reliance on the fed has allowed extremists to thrive in their state and bleed into local politics.

Just wait for the extremists to get in fed again. Those states rights are gonna get a whole lot weaker if the states do things the extremists don't like.

people on the right love the constitution though. it'll be tough to get too much past the 10th amendment. no bipartisan support.

Funny, as soon as the constitution says something they don't like (such as insurrectionists can't be president), then suddenly it doesn't matter because that's old.

Lots of cherry picking for sure

The situation here is very, very unique. The state is a swing state that has been trending slowly Democratic. When the AZ Supreme Court ruling came out, Democrats began salivating at the thought of a gigantic turnout for the pro abortion ballot initiative. Any smart GOP politician in the state began to shit their pants because abortion rights ballot initiatives could surge the Democratic turnout in all the state political races and could turn AZ dark blue based on this one single issue. The writing is on the wall though… AZ will be a blue state, but it’s not going to happen quickly as long as the GOP doesn’t piss off the state with unpopular policies.

That’s great news!

They quashed a near total ban because a handful of Republicans either didn't like how extreme it was or didn't like how difficult it made their reelections. They didn't seize control and boot out the radicals. Arizona's radicals enacted a 15 week ban in 2022 that's now back to being the law of the land.

Of course nothing changes overnight but it’s progress

This is a win, not a total victory. Enjoy it for what it is, don't pretend it's useless.

The Fed? As in the one that regulates the interest rates?
