Political and Constitutional Disagreements in Massachusetts

Yesterday, there was a rally at the State House in Boston involving the failure of the General Court (the Massachusetts legislature) to vote on the question of a Constitutional Convention that could have a substantive effect on the Supreme Judicial Court's decision in the Goodrich case. The news report of the Boston Globe is HERE . I find Professor Friedman's argument, referred to in the article, that the Governor is wrong quite interesting. But then, the Professor did file an amicus brief in the Goodrich case that appears to agree with the court's majority ruling in favor of homosexual marriage. At this stage, it also appears that the legal and political issues addressed in the Globe article could generate future discussion and interest among MOJ contributors and readers.   RJA sj
