Everyone Wants Gay Marriage to "Go Away"
Everyone in Massachusetts
wants gay marriage to "just go away." These are just a few
of the people who want it to go away.
Margaret Marshall, but She Has to Learn to "Keep Her Mouth Shut"
When the Boston Globe wrote this week that Judge
Marshall has to learn to "keep her mouth shut," you know she's
in trouble. We've published
several articles that she's at odds with the Sulzberger family ever
since the 2004 election. (The Sulzbergers are owners of the Boston Globe,
New York Times, etc.)
Margaret Marshall will always
be a tragic figure if she remains on as Chief Justice. She's irreparably
stained from her public appearance in 1999 before the lesbian attorney,
Mary Bonauto, at the annual meeting of the Gay & Lesbian Bar Association.
There, she assured Atty. Bonauto she would win her suit for gay marriage
if it were filed in Massachusetts.
It's much better for Marshall
to resign with dignity and say that the world is not yet ready for her
compassion. All of her friends will cheer and praise her. She will undoubtedly
be quickly snatched-up by Yale Law School or Wellesley College, for
starters.
Call the main number of Marshall's Court.
Politely request that Judge Marshall resign,
along with the three Associate Justices who signed her Ruling on gay
marriage.
Receptionists will probably agree with you.

Three SJC Judges Who Signed Marshall's Ruling on Gay Marriage
Marshall's now toying
with the financial security of the three Associate Justices who signed
her illegal Order for gay marriage. There's no doubt they'll lose all
their millions of dollars in pension benefits if they don't resign quickly.
This is a very dangerous game for Marshall to allow them to play.
They've spent almost three-decades
of their lives as judges and are dependent on their pensions. (Ireland
has 28-years of service; Greaney, 27-years.)
They gave it their best
shot to help Marshall, but, unlike her, they have families to support
and it would be disastrous to lose any of their millions that have accumulated
in pension benefits, which would happen if they are Removed by the Legislature.
Judge Marshall must not
continue a selfish course. That is not the image she wants to leave
behind.
Three SJC Judges Who Wrote that Marshall's Ruling Was Unconstitutional
Three Justices say Margaret
Marshall doesn’t have the power to do what she is attempting. In
essence, those three Justices say that Chief Justice Margaret Marshall
and her three cohorts are acting ultra vires. Those three Justices have
not commented on the Removal of their fellow judges because that is
not their role. They have, however, emphatically written that Margaret
Marshall is without power to do this. Now it is up to each individual
Senator and Representative to decide the question of Removal.
The only way to stop the
usurpation of power by Marshall is to remove her and her three friends
and have the Republican Governor appoint four new judges who must be
approved by the Democratic Governors Council. Those new judges will
obey the Constitution and not write a new one.
These are the words of the
three Justices: "The power to regulate marriage lies with the Legislature, not with
the judiciary. Today, the court has transformed its role as protector
of individual rights into the role of creator of rights."
"Whether
the court is correct in its assumption is irrelevant. What is relevant
is that such predicting is not the business of the courts."
"The Legislature
is the appropriate branch, both constitutionally and practically, to
consider and respond to it. It is not enough that we as Justices might
be personally of the view that we have learned enough to decide what
is best. So long as the question is at all debatable, it must be the
Legislature that decides. The issue presented here is a profound one,
deeply rooted in social policy, that must, for now, be the subject of
legislative not judicial action."
Almost All the Legislators, Especially Speaker
Sal DiMasi
About
80% of the Reps are waiting to jump on the winning side. We know that
to be true because Arlene Isaacson put tremendous pressure on them a
few months ago to publicly state their support for gay marriage. She
was able, despite a tremendous effort, to get only 20%. This means that
80% are waiting to see 'which way the wind is blowing.
Reps Goguen and Phil Travis
(D-Rehoboth, who just announced his retirement) are the only Legislators
who are publicly stating their position. Regardless whether Goguen wins
or loses the vote in the coming weeks, he deserves tremendous credit
for his principled stand. Rep Goguen has had homosexual friends all
his life and has never been mean to anyone. Observers say he doesn't
have a mean streak anywhere in his body.
Adult homosexuals must be allowed to follow their desires because
it is impossible for anyone to change people who have no desire to do
so. But no one should be telling children this is a "normal"
practice that they should try.
We're just beginning to
see what some have in mind for our children with the announcement from
TV 38 of its plan for a daily television program with the disgraced
Judge Maria Lopez as the star.
All Catholics
It will be a pleasure for
Massachusetts Catholics to lighten the division between the Archdiocese
of Boston and the Dioceses of Worcester, New Bedford and Springfield
as to gay marriage. The outlying Dioceses are enthusiastic about the
efforts of Rep. Emile Goguen to Remove Margaret Marshall and her three
cohorts. He is greeted by enthusiastic crowds who shake his hand wherever
he travels. The Archdiocese of Boston has not yet helped Goguen, which
is a troubling puzzle to the popular Rep.
If Rep Goguen is successful
in ending gay marriage this month, that would immediately end all concern
by all the citizens of Massachusetts about gay marriage.
TV 38
This television station may
lose a little revenue if they cancel plans for a television show by
Judge Maria Lopez, but they will gain by not alienating their base.
Their huge, multinational owner, Viacom, won't even notice. It would
be good if Viacom did notice because they don't need this adverse publicity.
The unfortunate spokesperson for TV 38 who gigglingly told the Boston
Herald she thought the show would be "entertaining," may be
looking for a new job.
All Citizens Are Sick of It
The vast majority of citizens
who want to end this tawdry bit of Massachusetts history will be happy
to see the possible demise of the Sulzberger empire and to learn that
we are no longer a colony of New York City.
Everyone at MCM and MassNews
Our purpose has never been
to punish Marshall or anyone else. Let's all move on and have something
much more interesting in our lives.
One Person Who Won't Be Pleased
The only person(s) who won't
be pleased is the one who has destroyed five Democratic leaders since
2002 when Senator Tom Birmingham plunged the dagger into his chest and
destroyed his career. There has to be a lot of money involved. The best
explanation we have heard is worldwide prostitution and a mob from somewhere
in this country or outside. They are very resilient and we do not need
to worry about their welfare. We must worry, however, about how many
dollars it took to capture our state's entire political structure.

Launches New Ads Focusing on Judges
The
new radio and aerial banner campaign for Massachusetts Citizens for
Marriage will ask listeners to call the courthouse, rather than the
State House to insist upon Margaret Marshall's resignation. The text
of the radio ads is below.
We're
Massachusetts Citizens for Marriage.
We
believe adult homosexuals must be allowed to follow their desires because
it's impossible for any of us to change someone who has no desire to
change.
But
no one should be telling children
that homosexuality is a "normal" practice they should try.
That's
why we're calling the supreme judicial court now and telling them that
margaret marshall and the three judges who helped her impose gay marriage
should resign from the court now.
marshall
is jeopardizing the pensions of families, especially judges ireland and greaney, who helped her. this is a very dangerous game for marshall
to encourage. she must not
take a selfish course. this

their exact words are:

without interference from the courts. The power to regulate marriage lies with the
