We have veered away from the discussion at hand, the decision by the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, to a discussion about SCOTUS.

In this case, the SCOTSOM (Supreme Court of the State Of Massachusetts) acted in perfect accordance to the State's Constitution.

They reached a decision that the current laws pertaining to marriage in the State violated the civil rights of some of its citizens, and ordered the legislation to re-write the laws to bring them into Constitutional compliance.

What's the problem with that?

Answer: most people in here do not like the decision, and will call it activism for that reason.

The Mass Constitution didn't have any language I don't think much different from the US Constitution, so thus the segue. In any event, state constitutions don't interest me much. I think they should all be put into the dumpster, the sooner the better.
