Outrage at Margaret Marshall and N.Y. Times Will Increase Dramatically
John Greaney, Roderick Ireland and Judith Cowin Will Also Be Questioned How Much They Knew
J. Edward Pawlick

   The anger and disgust with Margaret Marshall and the Chairman of the New York Times, Arthur O. Sulzberger, Jr., will increase substantially after yesterday's decision about gay marriage, says Atty. J. Edward Pawlick, author of "Libel by New York Times."

   Also, the anger will spread to the three judges who are following along with Marshall's plan, the attorney says. He believes they will be questioned as to why they are doing so when the other three judges have stated emphatically that Marshall has absolutely no right to be doing what she is doing. The dissenters say it's not whether Marshall made a wrong decision, but that she had no right to even be making the decision at all.

   "These are not right-wing kooks who are saying we have a rogue court operating out-of-control," says Atty. Pawlick. "These are liberal judges on the Supreme Judicial Court saying that. Their dissents could not be expressed in stronger terms. Surely, Judges Greaney, Ireland and Cowin know that Margaret Marshall has been publicly advocating gay marriage for years. They know she is not impartial. This case was set-up years ago, and they know it."

   Pawlick says that copies of his book have just begun shipping this week.

   "There is no way I will be able to control the anger and disgust that will follow once the citizens learn by reading the book about the intrigue that is involved in this case," the attorney says. "I have no idea how it will be manifested but the entire judicial system will suffer. The people have become very cynical about lawyers in recent years. They do not trust the lawyers. This decision will greatly magnify that distrust when they see the terrible ethics of the most powerful lawyer in the state, Margaret Marshall.

   "When the other side talks about 'civil rights,' we are learning that that is only a code word for saying they want the lawyers to decide, not the people. The people have always been skeptical about allowing the elite, especially the lawyers, to make all the decisions. This is not going away."

   Atty. Pawlick also says that the Democratic Party will suffer as a result. "Anyone connected with this farce will be hurt. And the leaders of the Democrats have jumped into bed with Marshall enthusiastically. The rank-and-file of the Party do not agree but the leaders don't care what they think. We clearly saw them suffer badly in 2002 with a Republican Governor being elected as a result."

   Pawlick says that the Boston Globe will attempt to censor the book. "Of course the Globe will censor the information by pretending the book doesn't exist. They must do so because the outrage is going to devastate their credibility. When they do admit that the book exists, they will attempt to say it is just another 'conspiracy theory.' But the evidence is too strong for that lie to work. They've left too big a trail that is easy for anyone to follow."

   The attorney claims that liberals are more angry than conservatives. He says that the liberals have become more and more disillusioned with the New York Times over the past several years and this crystallized last year over the Jayson Blair affair.

   "For the liberals, it is a huge loss to discover that their beloved Times is not a great newspaper of record any longer. It has become merely a plaything for the Sulzberger family. The family now controls the ownership of the paper with an iron hand through questionable legal tactics. This is a terrible blow to liberals who now have to wonder how much of what they have come to believe is the truth is merely the rantings of the Sulzbergers."

   The problems for the Sulzbergers have increased since Pinch gradually took over in the 1980s, according to Pawlick. No one in the family has ever liked him, including his own father, the attorney says, and they have even thought he was weird. The question of homosexuality was a big issue as Pinch went behind his father's back many times to promote homosexuality and to say that all the family were homophobes except for him. His fascination with the topic is puzzling. Even after his appointment as Chairman of the entire conglomerate he went to a large party at someone's home wearing his favorite pair of Groucho Marks glasses with a big nose, but his glasses have a big penis instead of a nose.

   "The Times is going to take a big hit when this newest scandal is reported," says Pawlick. "With their power, they will be able to keep it hidden for a while. They will attempt to say it is just more Internet gossip but the people who read the book will know differently."
