Apparently, she thought she was dismissing Johnny Mathis

And dismissing a person of "dubious" color.

The Arizona Supreme Court Thursday evening reinstated the chairwoman of the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, rebuffing Gov. Jan Brewer’s unprecedented action earlier this month. The ruling came less than three hours after the court heard arguments on the case, which revolved around the extent to which the commission is free of outside political interference. The court decided the governor’s Nov. 1 removal letter to Colleen Coyle Mathis did not demonstrate “substantial neglect of duty, gross misconduct in office or inability to discharge the duties of office.”

The stupidity and lack of evidence for the discharge is pretty evident given the time it took an appeals court to make a ruling. I've been practicing for 20 years and the fastest appellate ruling I ever got from any court was about a month. Bench rulings in district court often take more than 3 hours. What a complete power-hungry dope Jan Brewer is, but given her supporters they deserve each other. (via Think Progress)
