Looks like history is repeating itself.

[supercat]

The legislature should pass a law explicitly allowing a gay man to marry a gay woman. Problem solved.

... It's Time to Rebuke the Judicial Oligarchy ...

Ok. I'll give it a shot.

I REBUKE THEE, THOU MOST FOUL JUDICIAL OLIGARCHY, THOU BLACK-ROBED BLACKGUARDS, THOU HIDEOUSLY BE-WHIGGED PERCHERS UPON BENCHES. HANG THY HEADS IN THE HEAT OF THY SHAME, THOU WHO NOW STANDS SORELY REBUKED.

Next I shall be forced to raise my eyebrow in stern reproof. Do not make me raise my eyebrow.

Dang, that was harsh! did you get that from Orrin Hatch by any chance? :-)

[MainFrame65]

Would this work?

Could a married couple in Massachusetts bring suit in federal court seeking equality of their married status with residents of other states? Their marital status certainly seems to have lost value.

[4CJ]

ROTF - I suggest we all "rebuke" them. I know it works. But do we have to put them on double-secret probation first?

[Rummyfan]

Bump for Mrs Schlafly!

Would like to see Romney taking a more active role in leading an effort to tell these judges to go to he**, for lack of a better description.

[narses]

Ping.

[Restorer]

Will Massachusetts, the cradle of American liberty, let four lawyers don the robes of oligarchy, override the wishes of the majority of the people, usurp the powers of their elected representatives, and sabotage the institution of marriage?

Yes.

A far more relevant question is what the rest of us will do about it.

Massachusetts citizens should slap down their high court as the citizens of Hawaii and Alaska did when confronted with the same judicial impudence. -Phyllis Schlafly

Eh? I didn't know about that. Tell me more.

Not without some fuss, believe you me. We are hammering our reps in the legislature. They feel the heat. Mine advised me to write of my displeasure to the SJC Clerk. I shall do that with relish.

[mathurine]

Vexation without participation is tyranny. Impeach a few judges for no reason other than that the legislature is entitled to do so and the courts will revert to normal.

[edger]

This court gave the legislature 180 days to pass a law that ratifies their ruling. Now that is arrogant even by New England standards.

Maybe I am missing the point but if the legislature is unable to agree on such a law, or if Mitt Romney vetoes their legislative effort, what does the court do?

[NutCrackerBoy]

They will advise the cities and towns to issue marriage certificates to same-sex couples.

[Restorer]

I have read (no idea whether accurate) that 50% of MA voters approve of the court's decision. Since a large majority the other way is needed for any of the over-turning approaches, looks like it will stand.
