Healey nominates former romantic partner, Gabrielle Wolohojian, to Supreme Judicial Court. [ Massachusetts ]
Boston Globe Media ^ | February 7, 2024, | Matt Stout

Healey and Wolohojian met when they both worked at Hale & Dorr, and had been together for eight years when Healey began her first term as attorney general in 2015,

...

Healey used the Charlestown home they shared as her campaign’s headquarters early in her first run for attorney general,

...

They later separated, and Healey moved to the South End before she launched her run for governor. She now lives in Arlington with her current partner, Joanna Lydgate, an attorney and her former deputy in the attorney general’s office. Healey and Lydgate told the Globe last year that their relationship began a few months after Lydgate left the AG’s office in the summer of 2020.

...

Wolohojian has decades of experience on the bench and in the legal profession. The granddaughter of Armenian immigrants, she graduated from Columbia University School of Law, where she was editor of the Columbia Law Review, and in the 1990s, served as an associate independent counsel in the Whitewater investigation into former president Bill Clinton.

...

Her nomination immediately drew sharp criticism from the Massachusetts Republican Party, whose chair urged Healey to withdraw her pick or for the Governor’s Council’s seven members — all Democrats — to reject Wolohojian.

“It is highly inappropriate for the Governor to nominate to Massachusetts’ highest court an individual with whom she had a long-term romantic relationship in the past,” Mass. GOP chair Amy Carnevale said in a statement. “This nomination clearly demonstrates a lack of accountability inherent in one-party rule.”

This is how the Left operates.

Rules are only for others, not them.

I cannot stand it. I dislike politics overall, but Massachusetts politics has a special circle in Hell for it, inhabited by the likes of Kennedy and Studds, and likely to be joined at some point by by Frank, Markey, Pressley, and this human stain, Healy.

As Howie Carr says...

After a NATION-WIDE search!...

the ONLY Lawyer in Mass that could possibly fit the bill is the Gov’s former lover..

Odd how that works.

You omitted John F. Kerry who fought in Viet Nam. The question is, “Which side did he fight on?

I was born and raised in Massachusetts which I left in 1984. I thought I would miss the old bay state. I had a sense of pride in our history, educational quality, low crime, the beauty of the place, the Red Sox and many other things. No more. This is beyond belief and takes the cake. This governor’s actions are symbolic of the whole stinking mess. Sensible people should get out like I did. Everyone who chooses to stay should double down and choke in their own vomit.

Same-sex relatiionships are inherently more stable, and women restore integrity to politics.

The the American flag is on Mars.

There are too many to count...I couldn’t remember all of them. Dammit.

All of them should be smoking a turd in Purgatory.
