And we have agreed - Its a controversial issue.

As to highlighting Goddard, are you suggesting that his motivation is political and the current governor's is not? Or the legal experts who support the law have different motivations than those who question its constitutionality?

It does make things more interesting and ones opinion on this issue just months beforehand would have some impact on it, yes.
Especially one who is a D running for office in AZ.

why you think one side is more motivated by the best public interest and the other by political/financial interests? Based on what?

That is not my belief, I think that they are, both sides are motivated by the power, both political & financial. They are more concerned with keeping their current jobs and getting the next "better" one.
They do more campaigning and work harder at that than they do at the job they were elected to do. They all have created these problems and they constantly act outraged that these problems exist. ALL OF THEM. I'm personally sick and tired of hearing about the ills of our nation when EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM is directly traceable to those elected to solve them. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to them and the decisions they make. I couldn't give a rats ass if they have a D or an R stamped on their forehead.

Is one group of law enforcement officials more politically motivated? Why?

How should I know? Perhaps it is their personal belief systems. Perhaps it is those who help to keep them in power. Perhaps they too are all full of shit. Dunno.
