Well, I'm glad to hear that not everyone in MA is a sheep, but I am worried. Is there a grassroots groundswell of concercned citizens demanding that the legislature defy or discipline the SC?

If the citizens don't bully their legislature into doing right and telling these judges to STFU, then what.

How does MA get their SC judges and how do they get rid of them? Can they be impeached or recalled? What does it take and is any group attempting it?

Judges are appointed by the Governor's Council, a relic from our days as an English colony. I'm pretty sure it's their only duty, and they're just a rubber stamp of the governor, who appoints the members of the GC.

Incidentally, you know who we have to blame for Chief Justice Marshall, the foreign-born idiot who crafted this decision? Noneother than former governor William Weld, RINO, who elevated her to the position of Chief Justice. Dukakis put her on the bench; Weld promoted her.
