AP reports that GOP lawmakers did not remove Sen. Scott Bundgaard from his leadership position during a caucus meeting today:
Scott Bundgaard remains majority leader of the Arizona Senate after a closed caucus of Republicans met amid controversy over his involvement in an alleged domestic violence incident.
Bundgaard and most other senators leaving the room after 90 minutes would say little other than to confirm that he remains majority leader.
However, Senate Ethics Committee Chairman Ron Gould expressed disappointment that Bundgaard remains in his position. Gould on Monday had said Bundgaard should step down from his leadership post at least temporarily.
Bundgaard still faces a Senate ethics probe.

“Legislative immunity enjoyed by lawmakers precluded any kind of arrest.” Beat up on you partner, skate. WTG Arizona! Treat your partner like you treat the rest of us.
I guess laws are just for us little people. There should be no legislative immunity. His behavior is a clear indication that he lacks the ability to make reasonable decisions that affect the state and everyone in it.
So let me get this straight. I can’t vote, or own a firearm, and have very little in the way of civil rights because I smoked a joint 5 years ago. But this idiot engages in an act of domestic violence, and goes on about his way?
It’s a good thing I deplore violence.
