PHOENIX -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is seeking to revoke domestic partner benefits for state employees.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has already denied the request, and now Brewer and Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take up their case.
Brewer has long-opposed the benefits put into place by former governor and current Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
"It was done by executive order by an out-going governor who flew off to D.C. then I was left with the hugest budget deficit Arizona has ever faced," Brewer told reporters Monday.

an assault on the Potus. Wonder what would have happened to me or you if we poked a finger in the president Bush's face?

then Janice Brewer (see the theme there?) can kiss my lesbian ass, and she SHOULD get totaled on this one. People in long-term partnerships deserve to have their rights respected.
