Yes he loses the license he’s not supposed to have anyway for 45 days (and he should have left the country in ‘92). Another case in MA had a judge lose her license for a time for DUI,
oh but she got a HARDSHIP license (”your honor, she needs transportation to get to work”)

Oh The Hardship: OUI Judge Back Behind The Wheel
>>Try not to let what Im about to tell you destroy your faith in the integrity of the Massachusetts judiciary, but do you remember how Superior Court Judge Christine McEvoy had her drivers license suspended until Nov. 26?
After being arrested and charged with OUI in Lexington on April 15, the career hack took the traditional continued without a finding on June 5. The presiding judge, as opposed to the defendant judge, then tacked another 45 days on the automatic 180-day license suspension for anyone declining to blow in the balloon.
(and she got it back via hardship)
>>But apparently some suspensions arent quite as automatic as others. Because five days after appearing before the judge, the black-robed terror of 128 was back out on the road driving again - 149 days short of her original sentence.
Hey, its all legit - she got a hardship license. Oh, the unspeakable hardship. She makes $129,693.98 a year - the standard judicial pay, which she described in 1994 as inadequate, when she got the job from fellow tippler Bill Weld.
and ironically enough the column I mentioned above about the MA judge getting her lic. back via a hardship plea took place during the same week when Ted Kennedy finally went sober,
if you know what I mean (last wk of Aug 2009). He has been
sober ever since.
