IMO 10 years as Mumble's Consigliera should qualify her for an indictment not the bench
IIRC this judge also happens to be married to a retired FBI agent whose code name with the Bulger Gang was "Pipe" and who used to have Christmas envelopes passed to him by the boyos.
Bless the Herald, printing truth for truth’s sake.
Damn the rest.
bttt
Between this abomination, and Congressional Communists pushing hard to censor/control what is said on the radio, I have to ask just what the hell is happening in my country and what, if anything, is going to be done to stop it?
now i can say the same thing about judges.
LOL try living in the Peoples Commonwealth for a while then nothing will suprise you except that it's so open around here.
I’ve lived in the Boston area (now Boston proper) for almost all of my life, and no one outside this city seems to grasp how utterly corrupt it is. It’s the liberals’ town and as this story shows, they are not only unafraid about exercising their power in shocking ways, they’re arrogantly BLATANT about it because they know there will be no backlash. Mumbles is a disgrace and a boob—quite a combo!
She’s not exactly forthcoming here either:

Willard.....I mean Mitt do you have any regrets about any of your appointments as Governor?

The judge is following the law.
big dig kill anyone lately?
She maybe following the SJC but remember how often their rulings get overturned by the USSC by 9-0.
IIRC the story was based on interviews with individuals with knowledge of the case.
Sounds like Boston and their New England Patriots have a lot in common.
I wouldn't go that far. I was really outraged when I first heard about the "videotaping" thing, but when I heard the facts I was like "That's it--they used avideo cam instead of just taking notes?" Not exactly the same as a judge stopping freedom of the press. And the Pats are doing incredible so far this season, being the first team since 1920 to score so high in their first games, scoring each quarter.
Socialism, thy name is Woman.
Luckily no; but the state AG is now after a small adhesives manufacturer instead of the big engineering outfits and contractors who spec'd and installed the epoxy anchors.
Merita used to advertise The Lone Ranger television series waaaaaaay back. Does anyone else remember that? I was just a tiny child at that time. LOL!
That's an iffy claim. Prior restraint in the US is exceptionally rare, allowed by SCOTUS only when publishing information will put lives at risk. The analogy used by one SCOTUS opinion is publishing the movements of troop transports at sea.
In this case, the only risk is one of embarrassment -- and that wasn't enough to prevent the publication of the Pentagon Papers. If the records were illegally obtained, then the paper could be liable for that -- after the story is published.
