It's rulings like this that PROVE that some judges don't deserve to sit on any bench but at a bus stop!

The only way that the judge could look any less than a complete A-hole would be if the surgery were to be performed IN the prison hospital BY fellow inmates!!!

Actually, it was a Federal judge, not a Mass judge. And to elect Federal judges, you'd have to pass a constitutional amendment. Article 3 of the Constitution gives them lifetime appointments.

Thank You....

Mass had been fighting against this for some time.......Mass has its issues, but lets blame them for some of the things they actually do wrong.....not something they were actually trying to do right

a .22 hollow point between the eyes would cure "his" medical condition...it also would render "him" a non threat.. 3rd.. it would be a hell of alot cheaper...I dont see the judge volenteering to pay for it...
I have a feeling this aint over...

What are the grounds for having a judge removed from the bench?
Surely this could qualify as a valid reason.
Maybe "he" figures that if "he's" going to spend his life in a male prison, maybe "he" should try and take advantage of all that free sex "he" done heard about?

To coin a Eddie Griffin phrase (from the movie "the New Guy"):
"The sex you want, you can't get, and the sex you get you don't want!"

How much would you like to bet that if this POS does get his/her sex change operation, he/she won't file an appeal for a new trial based on him/her being a completely different person?
(If that ever happens, they should tell him/her that he/she can have a new trial, but that they will add the death penalty as the sentence instead of life without parole.)

Of course in Mass, that will never happen, since we are reknown as the state where the criminals have the rights and the victims are put on trial.

I say let him have the operation, but hire the cheapest third-world back-room doctor's assistant's assistant to perform the surgery in the prison's showers. I mean, let's give him everything he deserves, right?
