Liberal Judge Shows Her Ass

Massachusetts' Chief Justice Margaret Marshall, that noted interpreter of the Constitution, who in 2003 led the way for Massachusetts to become the only state to legalize gay marriages, recently proved again that she's nothing but a partisan hack for leftwing self-interests.

From Boston Herald.com:

Supreme Judicial Court Chief Justice Margaret Marshall publicly apologized yesterday for making an off-the-cuff and - politically speaking, at least - off-color joke about “red states” during a commencement speech in May.
The Judicial Conduct Commission investigated Marshall after a complaint was made by an unidentified Bay State resident “intimately involved in the political process,” said one source familiar with the probe.
Marshall has become a controversial political figure, particularly with the anti-gay-marriage movement, because she authored the SJC’s ruling legalizing homosexual marriage in 2003.
JCC executive director Jill Pearson said she could not divulge the name of the complainant, who contacted the commission after Marshall’s May 22 graduation speech at Brandeis University.
The complainant did not attend the speech, Pearson added.
The speech began with Marshall greeting the audience, acknowledging the hundreds of blue and white balloons at the ceremony and joking: “No red states here.”
Marshall said in her apology released by the JCC yesterday: “The comment was an unconsidered, spontaneous attempt to connect with the exuberant, celebratory feeling in the audience, reflecting the ballons I had seen. I did not intend to say anything of a political nature . . . I regretted the comment as soon as I said it, and that has never waned.”

Judges like Margaret Marshall need to be removed from the bench. When a judge makes a public statement that clearly establishes their disdain for a poltical party, it clearly sends a message that said judge is partisan and thus, cannot fairly dictate law. And any judge who could so grossly ignore the Constitution as Marshall did with her gay marriage ruling, should not only be off the bench, they should have their law license revoked.
