The Massachusetts Appeals Court today rejected a lawsuit by three women who said they were groped by the disgraced ex-state Senator that would have forced him to keep his distance from all women in Massachusetts.

The court ruled that the provision of the state civil-rights law that was also used to limit anti-abortion protesters near abortion clinics can only be enforced by the state's attorney general and that the three women could ask for no more than an injunction to keep Marzilli away from them, not every woman in the state. And even then, the court ruled, there is no proof Marzilli has attempted to assault or harass them since his arrest in 2008, so there is no longer a reason for an injunction.

The women could appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court.

Complete decision.

The Herald reports Jack E. Robinson filed 10,900 signatures at the last minute to get onto the Republican ballot for the special Senate election. As long as 10,000 of those signatures - which the Herald says he spent $100,000 to collect - are valid, he'll face off against Swearin' Scott Brown in the primary.

Ever the optimists, Red Mass. Group explains why this will actually help Brown win the final election.

Speaking of Brown, the Herald reports the ex-Cosmo model is married to an ex-"murderous, bikini-clad vixen" from a Digney Fignus video, or, in other words, Channel 5 reporter Gail Huff.
