Later in the week, the Arizona Legislature increased the amount of the tax credit for the scholarship program from $1,000 to $1,500 per couple. Then on Thursday, the Arizona Legislature became the first in the country to approve education savings accounts, an idea born at the Goldwater Institute . . .

'I think there are two explanations, and one is dominant,' Bolick suggested for the influx of Arizona cases. 'Arizona is taking the concept of states being the laboratories of democracy very seriously on multiple fronts . . . We have a legislature that is risk-taking and innovative . . . The second "less significant reason, but nonetheless still very significant reason" is that Arizona resides in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, said Bolick.' . . . The Institute, which has an Arizona affiliate, is representing not only the Arizona Freedom Club PAC in the campaign finance case, but also is involved in the school choice tax credit case — Arizona Christian Tuition Organization v. Winn (combined with Garriott v. Winn)." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/08/19/what-makes-arizona-such-a-hotbed-of-high-court-action/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/08/12/goldwater-institute-files-lawsuit-against-federal-health-care-bill/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/08/12/goldwater-institute-files-lawsuit-against-federal-health-care-bill/#comments Thu, 12 Aug 2010 21:24:05 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=68547 Goldwater Institute: "The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Phoenix is a private challenge to the health care bill championed by President Barack Obama. Arizona and 21 other states are pursuing public lawsuits against the federal law, based in large part on preserving their traditional authority to regulate health insurance. This new lawsuit, known as Coons v. Geithner, argues the federal health care bill exceeds the powers of Congress, violates individual rights, interferes with the authority of states, and violates the separation of powers by setting up a new bureaucracy without meaningful congressional oversight or judicial review." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/08/12/goldwater-institute-files-lawsuit-against-federal-health-care-bill/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/02/goldwater-institute-will-appeal-ninth-circuit-clean-elections-decision-refile-injunction-request/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/02/goldwater-institute-will-appeal-ninth-circuit-clean-elections-decision-refile-injunction-request/#comments Wed, 02 Jun 2010 19:46:14 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/02/goldwater-institute-will-appeal-ninth-circuit-clean-elections-decision-refile-injunction-request/ Tucson Citizen: "This morning, the Supreme Court denied a request the Goldwater Institute filed two weeks ago asking for an injunction to stop the use of matching funds this year. But the Court gave the Institute permission to file the request again along with an assurance that the Institute plans to appeal the recent opinion from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that overruled the District Court and declared matching funds to be legal. A new request and a commitment to appeal the Ninth Circuit decision was filed this afternoon." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/02/goldwater-institute-will-appeal-ninth-circuit-clean-elections-decision-refile-injunction-request/feed/ 0
