Wrong. A legislature writes the laws and a court interprets them. But it is NOT the province of a court to order a legislature to write a law to judges' liking. That is a blatant violation of the separation of powers and if the Massachusetts General Court had the cojones it would impeach the Justices on the Supreme Judicial Court and move to eliminate their funding. The court issued an unconstitutional order; now let's see try to carry it out own its own.

The court issued an unconstitutional order; now let's see try to carry it out own its own. The court did not issue an order. It issued an advisory opinion.
