    This is one of the reasons arguments not made before our appellate courts are ordinarily deemed waived, even if they have been raised below. See, e.g., Commonwealth v. Stevenson, 46 Mass.App.Ct. 506, 507 n. 3, 707 N.E.2d 385 (1999) (“Although [one of two codefendants] also raised this issue at trial, he has not raised it on appeal; therefore, he has waived his claims regarding this issue”). Indeed, the absence of argument is one of the reasons the Supreme Judicial Court's advisory opinions issued under Part II, c. 3, art. 2 of the Massachusetts Constitution, as amended by art. 85 of the Amendments, are not given stare decisis effect.
