Neal returns fire: It's abundantly clear that you, nor the Supreme Justice Court, haven't read the Massachusetts Constitution: "All causes of marriage, divorce, and alimony, and all appeals from the judges of probate shall be heard and determined by the governor and council, until the legislature shall, by law, make other provision." Chapter III, Article V. Or you just don't care. Either we are a Republic and a representative democracy, or we are to be ruled by edicts from government officials and told what our society, our country, our state, and our city, should be, and how their subjects shall behave: molded in Their vision, without our consent, from afar, from other states, from other Lord High Magistrates. Instead of all these caucuses, primaries, elections, legislatures - perhaps you - and those who believe as you do - would just have us pack up and go home. We shall then live in that pleasantly authoritarian society that you and and friends, the Enlightened, so deserve. And of the rule of law: I'd like you find the Declaration of War Against the Republic of Iraq, by a Joint Resolution of Congress, required by the United States Constitution. Article I, Section 8, clause 11. You won't. What goes around, comes around. Direct hit. Neal Krasnoff Loring Park REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
