By Dartunorro Clark
The Republican chair of Arizona's state House Ways and Means Committee introduced a bill Wednesday that would give the Legislature authority to override the secretary of states certification of its electoral votes.
GOP Rep. Shawnna Bolick introduced the bill, which rewrites parts of the state's election law, such as sections on election observers and securing and auditing ballots, among other measures.
One section grants the Legislature, which is currently under GOP control, the ability to revoke the secretary of state's certification "by majority vote at any time before the presidential inauguration."
"The legislature may take action pursuant to this subsection without regard to whether the legislature is in regular or special session or has held committee or other hearings on the matter."

Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that his supporters would respond with riots if he fails to secure the nomination at Julys convention in Cleveland.
I think youd have riots, Trump told CNN on Wednesday. I think youd have riots. Im representing a tremendous many, many millions of people.
At Trump rallies, people of all ages and creeds, even some outside the continent, have continued to make their voices heard.
Far from idle chatter, Trumps words come as escalating protests from left-wing activists, heated responses from his supporters, and increasing tensions within the GOP over his candidacy are raising fears that the convention could devolve into chaos. Cleveland is reportedly working to procure 2,000 sets of riot gear equipment for its officers.

Disbar
Primary tabs
Disbarment is the most severe sanction for attorney misconduct, which involves the removal of an attorney's license to practice law. Since the court has exclusive responsibility to license lawyers, it has sole authority to remove the license and less severe sanctions like suspension, probation and reprimand can be used to sanction misconduct when appropriate.
Causes of disbarment may include: a felony involving "moral turpitude," forgery, fraud, a history of dishonesty, consistent lack of attention to clients, alcoholism or drug abuse which affect the attorney's ability to practice, theft of funds, or any pattern of violation of the professional code of ethics.
