Extremism in the defense of (sports) liberty is no vice.

Then again, there's nothing extreme about what the GWI is doing, so I guess my analogy is kaput.

Being outraged at the Phoenix Coyotes is the one true cause that unites us all. #teamjustice

No need. If this thing passes, it'll be such a tragedy I'm sure the Westboro Baptist church will show up and picket.

I'm really glad I finished my soda right before clicking on this thread because I'd need a new keyboard after reading that.

As someone who hasn't followed this story that closely, why hasn't Goldwater Institute taken this to court yet? It's been a farce for a long time and illegal things have probably already happened. So what are they waiting for?

I think literally the only thing stopping them is that the deal isn't officially officially in place yet. So nothing illegal has been done yet to sue over.

If Glendale was smart (hold your laughter), they would just bring Goldwater to the bargaining table with the new owner and try to avoid an expensive lawsuit that they will lose. But then the politicians wouldn't be able to say that they "got a deal done for the Coyotes" even if the deal was illegal all along.

That's not stopping them. They're going to court this morning in about 20 minutes when it opens to filed a restraining order against today's vote even happening. They're angling for a violation of the AZ constitution's gifts clause again.

We could join hands and do a "We are the World" cover video for this cause.

♫Enough's enough. Move the Coyotes.♫

Temporary restraining order DENIED.

Rationale: Court lacks authority to stop the vote from taking place. That said, it acknowledges Glendale has kind of been doing a crappy job of providing documents within the required time window for such things, so I don't know, grounds for a restraining order on enacting the lease deal I guess.

EDIT: and Goldwater indeed says that they'll be back in court if the vote passes.

Court basically told the GWI they need to wait until after the vote to sue. Which they will hopefully do.
