H2259 argument - Margaret Marshall

[Midnight412]

In her opinion for the ruling to allow gay marriage in Massachusetts, Margaret Marshall, Chief Justice of the MA SJC stated,

The Massachusetts Constitution affirms the dignity and equality of all individuals. It forbids the creation of second-class citizens

If then, this is the case, why do we still not have passage of H2259? Our current licencing process does in fact create a second-class citizen, and more, by way of LTC-A, LTC-A(restricted), LTC-B, and out right denial.

I wonder if she were to rule on a firearms licensing case, would the same opinion be heard?

I would venture to say she HAS ruled on firearms cases, and, no, the same opinion would not be heard.

Ya got "cheif" spelled wrong. It's Chief.

It's really a matter of the right question being presented to the right court. So far it has not happened.

And besides, Chief Justice Marshall is resigning. Her husband has Parkinson's.
