Arizona Officials Continue to Fight Medical Marijuana Law
Prosecutor wants case sent to state Supreme Court
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery wants the Arizona Supreme Court to hear an appeal of a judge's ruling in December that concluded the state's medical marijuana is constitutional.
The case is now at the Arizona Court of Appeals, but Montgomery's office on Friday asked for it to be transferred the state Supreme Court.
Montgomery's office says the law's interpretation is of vital importance across the state and needs to get decided quickly.

I continue to be amazed by the hijinks of Republican Bill Montgomery. His inability to obey a law passed by the voters of Arizona is quite disappointing. I look forward to the order of the next judge or panel that gets to put him in his proper place.
