If it fails and voters also opt to unseat Hackett King and Bolick, Hobbs can pick their replacements
Arizona lawmakers voted Wednesday to send an initiative to the November ballot that would protect two state Supreme Court justices targeted for removal from the bench over their support for a near-total abortion ban dating back to the Civil War.
Several Democrats who voted against the measure noted that the retention rules were championed by the late former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who had been an Arizona state senator and Superior Court and Appellate Court judge. The measure will likely appear on the ballot alongside an initiative that would enshrine the right to abortion in the Arizona Constitution.
If approved by voters, the measure would apply retroactively to Oct. 31, days before the election, and would effectively throw out the results of any vote on judicial retention this year.
