Rethug Governor Ducey (Koch) Packing the Supreme Court in AZ

http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2016/05/18/gov-doug-ducey-signs-legislation-expand-arizona-supreme-court/84544008/
snip:
Gov. Doug Ducey signed legislation Wednesday to expand the state Supreme Court to seven justices from five, saying the additional judges will allow the court to take on more cases and ensure "swift justice."

Ducey's approval of House Bill 2537 will cost the state an additional $1 million and came despite objections from Chief Justice Scott Bales, who earlier this month asked the Republican governor to veto the legislation. In that letter, Bales wrote additional judges are not needed and expansion "is not warranted when other court-related needs are underfunded."

We get Brewer, Arpaio, a a a Teabagger legislature, Governor Koch, I mean Ducey, now a packed Supreme Court. Sorry to all you all DUers living in Deep Red States, Arizona is the most screwed.
