You don't understand. This is Massachusetts. Courts in this very Liberal state
can do whatever they want, and they aren't accountable to anybody or anything.

If that is the line the defense attorney is spewing, it's time to find
another more competent one.

Yes, eventually a federal district court or appellate court might hear the case.
But that will be way down the line, after much direct and collateral economic
damage is done. And that's what the plaintiffs want.

If a suit is filed in a court that lacks jurisdiction solely to harass
the plaintiffs, it could be viewed as abuse of process. The law cuts
both ways.
