Attorney General Mark Brnovich's desire to be an 'unchained' GOP culture warrior
Republican Attorney General Mark Brnovich wants the freedom to use his office to conduct conservative culture wars as he builds a culture warrior résumé to run in the Republican primary for governor or senator in 2022.
He has already done a good job of culture wars by filing lawsuits — approved by the governor’s office in most cases, e.g., seeking to overturn the Affordable Care Act aka “Obamacare” so that millions of Americans lose their health insurance coverage for preexisting conditions and expanded Medicaid (Arizona Republicans hated this); seeking to strike down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program so that “Dear Leader” can deport children who have only known America as their home to their country of origin with which they have no familiarity; and seeking to carve out a “freedom to discriminate” card for religious bigots who want to deny public access and services to anyone whom their own “deeply held personal religious beliefs” leads them to hate others, e.g., the LGBTQ community (this slippery slope will readily lead to discrimination against anyone who is not a white evangelical Christian fundamentalist. What they really want is an exemption from complying with the laws that everyone else who is not a religious bigot must comply).
[It should be noted that the positions taken by AG Brnovich (and Governor Ducey) are not the positions supported by a majority of Americans or Arizonans. It is ideological extremism to placate a right-wing minority GOP base.]
But AG Brnovich got sideways with our culture warrior Governor Doug Ducey, however, when he sued the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) over tuition increases resulting from our Republican-controlled Arizona legislature drastically reducing higher education funding over the last decade after the Bush Great Recession in 2008. (Legislative funding levels have still not returned to precession per student funding levels). Governor Ducey reportedly did not support this lawsuit.
