So much for the will of the people.
Hahahaha...as if anyone had any doubt.
They only force the legislature to act when it suits their agenda.
BS! The MA Supreme Court had no problem 3 years ago telling the Legislature that it had six months to change state laws to make it happen. That wasn't forcing lawmakers?
Wrong. It's incredibly easy for the legislators in Massachusetts to do whatever the hell they want, whenever they feel like doing it. Why? Because they have almost no opposition, and even when nominally "opposed" (by some poor Republican stiff without party organization or real financial support), Bay State voters keep returning them to office.
The state legislature has routinely ignored voter-approved referenda and initiatives, and has only been rewarded for it by the voters, who seem to enjoy living in a one-party state governed by tax-fattened solons who put their entire extended families on the state payroll.
Sorry, Massachusetts: don't blame your corrupt state reps for taking you seriously when you return them to office with 80% pluralities year after year. They think you're all idiots and see no reason to change their opinions.
I'm surprised this oligarchy in black robes admits there is a limit to its power!
Oh berother! They had no problem forcing the state to legalize it in the first place! Talk about the fruitcake capital of America. What a disgusting state.
And, while I have no problem with a black governor, I think that many Massachusetts voters just wanted to prove how 'diverse' they are by electing him. But, folks, he's no David Palmer.
Judge Maggie Marshall wasn't even born in this country yet she wants to make the laws and ignore the will of the people. She has accepted awards from gay and lesbian groups yet she failed to recuse herself when this issue came up. She is a disgrace.
HAHAHAHAHA! As if that would ever happen.
The legislature is in violation of the constitution; the governor sues to make them comply; the court weasels out of its responsibility. Talk about the system being broken...this is a complete failure of the Massachusetts government! People should scream about this. Heads should roll. What will happen? Nothing.
Well, nice to know that the Court acknowledges that it has *some* limitations!
This from the state of
"No taxation without Representaion!"
and of the Boston Tea Party...
The Gaycoats are not only coming,
..they've come...all over
Massachusettes.
In Massachusetts, the "will of the people" only means anything if the people are on the hard Left. Otherwise, you can pretty much forget it.
Our courts have hijacked this nation and right of the People to make and live by their own laws!!
I expect Mary-land to follow exactly the same.
Right, so they can imperiously instruct the legislature to legislate same sex marriage, but they can't tell the legislature to vote on a constitutional amendment when they are required by law to do so...
Families with Children. Time to leave MA.
I'll get it later if you don't!
Grrr - Nazguls.
