Information & Perspective by Warren Woodward
Sedona, Arizona ~ June 15, 2016
Regarding my case at the Arizona Supreme Court requesting the Court to compel AZ Attorney General Brnovich to follow the law, do his job and proceed to have Arizona Corporation Commission commissioner Bob Burns removed from office for violating conflict of interest law, yesterday I got a one sentence notice from the Court: “The Court declines to accept jurisdiction of the Petition for Special Action.”
So, in short, they wimped out.
Note that they did not say they don’t have jurisdiction, only that they would not accept it. So they have abdicated their responsibility under law. They wimped out.
After I filed my case at the Court last February, I wrote:
It will be interesting to see if the Arizona Supreme Court is any different than the AG office. Carved into the wall at the AZ Supreme Court building are the words, WHERE THE LAW ENDS, TYRANNY BEGINS. With that as a benchmark, how the Court responds to the case I just brought against Brnovich will let us all know precisely where we’re at as a society.
Looks to me like the law ended and tyranny has begun. Or as George Carlin put it so well years ago, “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.” (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5dBZDSSky0 but only if you can handle “adult language” and adult truth.)
Meanwhile, in anticipation that the Court might actually have integrity and the case would proceed, last March I filed a public records request of the AG office for all the material they had gathered in their supposed “investigation” of the Burns case. At the beginning of the disc of stuff I received were recorded interviews of various people. The first one was an interview of Burns himself with his ACC (taxpayer funded) lawyer present. At the start of the interview, Brunn Roysden at the AG office announced that no one is under oath. I couldn’t believe my ears! What was the point in wasting time listening any further?
I spoke with a former AG office investigator about it, and he said that he would never make such an announcement if he was interviewing someone not under oath because to do so would effectively be saying “Go ahead and lie.”
Don’t forget; Arizona is The Most corrupt state according to a Harvard study done two years ago in which all states were rated for both “legal” and illegal corruption ( http://ethics.harvard.edu/blog/measuring-illegal-and-legal-corruption-american-states-some-results-safra ). In my opinion, the Court’s ruling is right in line with keeping us # 1.
