novapsycheEffort to remove pro-gay marriage judges
A group that opposes gay marriage has enlisted the help of a state legislator in a long-shot attempt to remove the four justices of the state's high court who ruled that banning gay marriage is unconstitutional.
Democratic state Rep. Emile J. Goguen told The Boston Globe that he planned to file legislation to oust the justices on Tuesday, even though he is the measure's only sponsor.
He sees the bill as a way to pressure members of the Supreme Judicial Court to reconsider their 4-3 decision.
[...] Arline Isaacson, co-chairwoman of the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus, called the bill "absolute insanity."
"I can understand if our opponents don't like the decision, but our opponents have no rational basis for removing any of these judges," she said.
