As we noted on November 5, Arizona Rethuglican Gov. (and poster child for avoiding overexposure to the sun) Jan "Witch's" Brewer removed the head of the Arizona commission empowered to oversee Congressional redistricting. Witch's Brewer's move came after she and the Rethug state legislature were displeased that the independent commission wasn't rigging the redistricting to favor Rethuglicans.
Now, in a major defeat, the Arizona Supreme Court rejected the Governor's banana republic action, and reinstated the commission's chairwoman. The commission will now be able to complete their redistricting task before the 2012 elections (unless Witch's Brewer calls out the National Guard, declares martial law, and names herself Queen of Arizona).
