With the Supreme Court back in session, justices will continue to hold significant influence on several issues affecting Americans across the country and here in Arizona.
Arizona attorney Stephen Montoya appeared on Arizona PBS' “Arizona Horizon” last Thursday to discuss his thoughts on what he believes might be some of the court's upcoming actions, including overruling a decades-old case concerned with “affirmative action” in California for student admission to colleges and universities.
“My prediction is they’re going to speed up and overrule some long standing precedents, for example, the court’s 1979 case Bakke v. The University of California," he said.
Another case of interest for a lot of court watchers involves gerrymandering and whether legislatures could ignore their own state’s supreme court rulings in election matters.
Even though the majority of Supreme Court justices are conservative, Montoya doesn’t believe they would go that far.
