Supreme Court Orders Arizona Legislators to Testify in Voting Lawsuit

The Supreme Court has ruled that two Arizona lawmakers must testify about their reasons for supporting state laws that require proof of citizenship for voting in federal elections. The court's decision came after the Justice Department, the Democratic National Committee, and civil rights groups challenged the laws, arguing that they violated federal laws and were enacted with a discriminatory purpose. The lawmakers had argued that they could not be questioned about their motives, but the court ruled that they had waived their privilege by intervening to defend the laws.
