it took massachusetts come on mike pennsylvania took massachusetts a wild for a bunch of complicated reasons i'll be very boring if i explained all of them. but you are exactly right and that the document they finally did produce was grounded in a deeper religion potentially deep religion because of the process by which it was written. so, you need to write a constitutional tool. how do you do that? people do not have experience doing this. initially in places that did not have a functioning framework of government there is some royal government, kind of a vacuum. you need something in place very quickly. and so out of necessity americans end up writing lots of documents quickly. kind of the constitution now. that was better than nothing but it was not ideal. again think of the principles you are familiar with that led to the american revolution. the whole thing about consent, of the american revolution to abolish your government it's a notion that people have a say in this. even if it is the representatives of the people writing these constitutions, still the fact without any chance

massachusetts state police associate president michael servin joins me now.artha. >> martha: describe for us what's going on. >> so the executive order was issued by the governor of massachusetts requiring all executive branch employees to become vaccinated. just to be clear, we're not anti-vax. we support this. we've recommended to our membership to be vaccinated. however, as i've traveled across the state and spoken to many of my members and to other labor unions, we've learned there's many that have either medical, religious or other reasons that they don't wish to get the vaccination. some have received the -- they caught covid through front-lines during the riots in boston or we were put out there during protecting the state house. they don't feel that there's a need to have it. so we're just seeking a reasonable alternative to give them an option so they don't have to be terminations because of medical conditions, religious believes or because in the case of a female trooper that i spoke to who broke down crying, had been on the job 15 years and she jus

in 1781 the massachusetts superior court sentenced several members of hicks's group to be whipped and sit on the gallows wearing in good nathaniel hawthorne fashion garments and blazing with the letter a as punishment for their adulterous in discretions. baloo and most of the hicks faction eventually rejected the principle of what they called spiritual wifery instead they moved on to become the founders and leading members of the nascent universalist denomination, which swept across the northern new england hill country early in the 19th century. another notable member of miller's separate church in cumberland was jemima wilkinson whom you see here in the bottom left corner? a young woman from the neighboring town of smithfield, rhode island languishing with typhus during the british occupation of providence in 1776 wilkinson fell into a fever's trance during which she was visited by a pair of angels clad and white robes and wearing golden crowns. rising from her sick bed wilkinson proclaimed that she was the person of jesus christ come forth and now appears in her body with all the m

there is a bar in cambridge, massachusetts called grendel's den. i have never been, but it looks great. it looks like my kind of place. this year marks the 50th year in business for grendel's den. it's amazing to hit that achievement, especially this year which is challenging for bars and restaurants everywhere. they had to figure out how to celebrate. they reportedly put together an lp, a vinyl record, all recording songs from the year grendel was founded, from 1971. that's very cool. you can buy a grendel's den onesie for your baby. you can buy a collapsible grendel's den bowl for your dog. for $4 you can buy a grendel's shot glass that says, take the shot. for its 50th year in business, grendel's may have a present for the whole country, a present for the constitution, if you will. because grendel's started out in cambridge as a restaurant. they soon added a salad bar in the '70s. it wasn't until they were open for a few years that they decided they wanted to open their current basement location as a proper bar. and in order to open as a bar, th

massachusetts criminal law has a knew nuance.e state after sexually abusing the child or adult, the statute of limitations freezes. it stops running until the sexual abuser or the alleged sexual abuser comes back into the state. so in this case, mccarrick sexually abused my client in massachusetts. he left the state. he did not live within the state. the statute of limitations froze in time, and my client was able to proceed as a complainant in a criminal case against him. >> thank you for joining us on this day to help us see the direction of your case and others. thank you so much. >> good to see you. thank you. >>> we'll be right back. i became a sofi member because i needed to consolidate my credit card debt. i needed just one simple way to pay it all off. it was an easy decision to apply with sofi loans, just based on the interest rate and how much i would be saving. there was only one that stood out and one that actually made sense and that was sofi personal loans. it felt so freeing. i felt like i was finally out of this n

there is a bar in cambridge massachusetts called, grand isle's dan. i have never been, but it looks great. it looks like my kind of place. this year marks the 50th year in business. and that's an amazing achievement for any local business. particularly to hit that achievement in what's been a tremendously difficult year for restaurants and bars everywhere. but to celebrate their 50th anniversary they had to get creative about how to celebrate. they apparently put together an lp of vinyl records, we local bands. all recording songs from the year that it was founded. all recording fat songs from 1970. one that's pretty cool. they also did a whole bunch of new merge, you can buy a onesie for your baby. you can buy a celebratory jar of their famous hell opinions. you can buy a collapsible grand isle's dan doggy bowl, for your dog. very handy. comes with a little carrier there. for $4 you can also buy the commemorative shot glass which says take the shot. it promotes covid vaccination. but this, year for their 50th year in business, they may also have a pr

there is also an automobile right to repair law in massachusetts that passed in 2012 for members of theommonwealth. that required manufacturers to open up and provide parts and information and tools to independent repair technicians and car owners themselves. a subsequent law was passed in massachusetts that requires them to provide access to wireless data systems being used to communicate car diagnostic information. in terms of argument the manufacturers have made, independent repair is going to be dangerous or unsafe, the ftc looks at those arguments and found that there wasn't any evidence that independent repair is any less safe than a manufacturer branded repair service. those arguments don't really carry any water. in terms of whether this will just -- include disclosure of proprietary information, it would not did -- require disclosure of any trade secrets, all it requires is that manufacturers let people get access to the parts, the tools, and the service information they need to repair their devices. in many cases, they are already providing information's to networks of branded

if i went to someone in massachusetts, the interest rate would be capped at the massachusetts maximum, which is 20%. the idea of protecting borrowers from usury dates back. in 1979, the supreme court took that away, opening a loophole a to let banks escape centuries of usury laws. over time, banks figured out they could open that loophole wider through the so-called rent a bank scheme. under this arrangement, a non-bank lender like an online lender or payday loan company that would usually be subject to usury laws, find a bank to originate a loan on its behalf, funneled the funding through the bank, and avoid state interest rate caps. that means the interest rate caps like 20%, they can go to 35% or 400% or 1000%. last year, the occ issued a rule clarifying who is entitled to the usury exemption in cases like these. mr. brooks you were acting , comptroller was the true lender rule was finalized. the rule acknowledges that rent-a-bank schemes have "no place in the federal financial system." is that your personal view as well? >> absolutely. >> good. it is mine, too. let's look at what
