Arizona Supreme Court

State of Arizona, Appellee v. Andre Lee Juwaun Maestas, Appellant. — Bolick, J., Concurring

May 23, 2018417 P.3d 774

Summary

Justice Bolick concurs in the Court's conclusion that the case is justiciable, but separately questions whether Arizona should continue recognizing the prudential, judicially manageable-standards branch of the political-question doctrine as an independent barrier to adjudication. He distinguishes that prudential rule from the constitutionally grounded textual-commitment requirement and would reconsider the former in an appropriate case. The concurrence does not resolve that broader question.
