1Opinion of the Court

SELYA, Circuit Judge.

This case does not come to us as a stranger. At the turn of the century, the Massachusetts legislature passed a law that created fixed and floating buffer zones around abortion clinics. We rejected serial challenges to the constitutionality of that law. See McGuire v. Reilly (McGuire I), 260 F.3d 36 (1st Cir.2001) (rejecting facial challenge); McGuire v. Reilly (McGuire II), 386 F.3d 45 (1st Cir.2004) (rejecting as-applied challenge). The Su preme Court denied certiorari. 544 U.S. 974, 125 S.Ct. 1827, 161 L.Ed.2d 724 (2005).

One might have thought that the matter would end…
