The Senate voted 21-6 to remove Independent Redistricting Commission Chairwoman Colleen Mathis for alleged gross misconduct in the mapping of the state's political lines, an unprecedented move in Arizona's history. The vote came after strong opposition by Democrats who described the process as thwarting the will of voters, who decided 10 years ago to take the redistricting process out of the Legislature's hands. It capped off hours of waiting and uncertainty, until late in the afternoon when Secretary of State Ken Bennett, in his capacity as acting governor, issued a special session call to Mathis' removal. The Senate also approved a memorial condemning the commission for alleged violations of the Arizona Constitution.

(Autobiography 347-48) In his radical critique, Parker identifies America's crisis not as an ethical hesitation between positions but as a heretical inattention to the whispering still voice of history and instinct: "men and women," geniuses alike. [...] choosing freedom over slavery and choosing slavery over freedom are separate but equal choices leading down a single "road to ruin"; a road on which fetishized authors, those "great men" crying out "democracy" and "constitution," repeat the terms of choice and discount the "instincts" of the American people who would choose them.

Recall elections played a pivotal role in Arizona statehood. President William Howard Taft, a former judge who was later appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, actually vetoed the enabling act that would have granted Arizona statehood in 1911 because the proposed state Constitution included a recall provision for judges. State historian Marshall Trimble said judges commonly ordered striking miners back to work, and Arizona's founding fathers wanted a way to counter the state's powerful copper mining and railroad interests that had a great deal of control over the judiciary. So the framers included the recall provision, which was popular during the progressive era in American history.
Arizona has enacted a law that enables state and local police to support fed- eral immigration en- forcement, in a care- fully circumscribed manner. This moderate statute is under vicious attack by the Obama administration and assorted amnesty advocates. Yet Arizona and her sister states in the Southwest could take dramatically stronger actions to bring order to the border. And they would have both history and the Constitution on their side. History first. In 1916, criminal gangs rivaled the authority of the Mexican government. Led by Pancho Villa, they launched attacks against Americans on both sides of the border. Following a bloody raid that killed American soldiers and civilians in New Mexico, President Woodrow Wilson dispatched 15,000 state militia to the border and sent Gen. John ...
James Huntwork, a Republican who served on the original Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, said his successors are not properly drawing legislative and congressional maps based on constitutional criteria. In testimony on Wednesday to the Joint Legislative Committee on Redistricting, Huntwork said the current IRC is improperly using to draw the maps in a "headlong quest" to create more competitive districts. He cited a provision in the Arizona Constitution that says voter registration and voting history data "shall be excluded from the initial phase of the mapping process," except to test their maps for compliance with the other five criteria.
The Governor's Office announced that there will not be a special session on redistricting Tuesday. Republican lawmakers from both chambers had been told to plan on being at the Capitol on Tuesday, and many assumed that Brewer would call a special session to remove Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission Chairwoman Colleen Mathis.
