| Description | Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) is huddling with her inner circle in an attempt to regroup after the state Supreme Court rejected her attempt to oust the head of the state's independent redistricting commission. Observers are already saying that there is a possibility of a "Groundhog Day" scenario on the horizon, as the governor may not let the court's decision derail her move to replace the chairwoman and redraw district lines.
Brewer's spokesman, Matthew Benson, said that the governor is in the process of discussing the Mathis issues with her top aides and state legislative leaders.
"Governor Brewer has not yet decided on her next course of action," Benson said.
At the same time, he said that if Brewer wanted to attempt to delay final passage of new maps for congressional and legislative districts, the state would in for a real-life version of the 1993 Bill Murray comedy "Groundhog Day."
"It could be a scenario of she keeps firing her, and the court rejects it," Berman said. "It would delay things." |
