AZ is not eligible for bailout - successful VRA suit(s) in the state within the past 10 years - among other issues.

Arizona's main claim seems to be that the state doesn't discriminate and hasn't discriminated. Shouldn't this be a bail out suit rather than a constitutional challenge?  If so, is the constitutional issue ripe?
