The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that voters cannot determine the fate of a flat tax proposal that Republican lawmakers and Gov. Doug Ducey championed last year.

Arizona’s constitution broadly lets voters refer new laws to the ballot, and that’s what happened to the $1.3 billion tax cut package that legislators approved in 2021. However, such referrals are not allowed for laws related to the “support and maintenance” of state government, and the Supreme Court said Thursday that the income tax cuts fall into that category.

That means the November ballot measure won’t happen.

3. Only when those judges aren't doing what the GOP wants

if the activist judges are activist in favor or right wingers and super rich people, they are good with it.

4. Like a few on the supreme court.

They are all for them.

5. Yep, that's it.

they are all for activism as long as it is activism that benefits the rich and powerful and/or screws the poor/powerless or anyone who wants to help them.
