This Mass. situation is such a quick reminder, too, of how right Byron was on Monday to wonder why judges weren’t a bigger deal this cycle.

I think that’s a missed opportunity (and not for the first time) and another reason for some of that “they deserved it” feeling out there about the majority lost.

There’s a way to have this debate civilly and democratically, I wish more would embrace that option — if they did we actually might get somewhere….
