MCM Airplanes Fly Again on Sunday
       Three MCM airplanes will be in formation over Boston again today (Sunday) with their 100-foot banners flying behind with 5-foot letters, calling upon Chief Justice Margaret Marshall and the three Associate Justices who signed her Ruling on gay marriage to resign. It appears likely the planes will be able to continue flying all week.
       The flight of the planes today will include the apartment building where Justice Marshall lives with her husband, Anthony Lewis, on Memorial Drive on the Charles River and with her mother, who lives a few floors below.
       It has become common knowledge that many judges, lawyers and legislators are now advising her to resign quickly and not risk the pensions of the three Associate Justices who signed her illegal ruling.
       It's become obvious that she must not continue this egocentric path. She's irreparably stained from her public assurance in 1999 to the lesbian attorney, Mary Bonauto, at the annual meeting of the Gay & Lesbian Bar Association. There, she assured  Attorney Bonauto she would win a suit for gay marriage if it were filed in this state.
       Margaret Marshall will always be a tragic figure if she remains on as Chief Justice. It's much better for her to resign with dignity and say that the world is not yet ready for her compassion. All of her friends will praise and cheer her as they did Anita Hill. She will undoubtedly be quickly hired by Yale Law School or Wellesley College, for starters.
       Justice Marshall has had a remarkable career, arriving here as a 22-year-old student from South Africa who had us accept her and then the Constitution of her home country, as our own in her ruling on gay marriage.
