Speaker DiMasi Panics, Telephones All Reps to Call Off
Today's Formal Session
Sal DiMasi
called all the Reps on Monday night and Tuesday morning and told them
that the formal session scheduled for today, Dec. 20, was being cancelled
and there would be no more sessions this year.
Everyone on Beacon
Hill knows, however, that this session of the Legislature will continue
until the end of next year, December 2006. This means that Majority
Leader DiMasi can change his mind and call a session any time he wants
until then.
Many at the State House
are saying that DiMasi has become so unnerved by the banner airplanes flying over his district
and the rest of the Boston metropolitan area that he does not want to
face his Reps in a formal session. He can continue to accomplish his
entire agenda quietly behind the scenes with informal sessions.
To add to his nervousness,
the following letter was delivered to every Rep on Monday morning by
Mass. Citizens for Marriage, the same people who are flying the airplanes.
The letter says that DiMasi:
● DiMasi is the
fifth politician since 2002 to violate the Constitution for the purpose
of helping gay marriage.
● DiMasi does
not want Reps to vote because they will approve the Removal of Judge
Marshall and the others who signed her gay marriage ruling. If DiMasi
believed otherwise, he would just let them vote.
● DiMasi has
already broken the Constitution by sending the Resolution to a committee
which is not allowed under the state Constitution written by John Adams
in 1780.
Text of Message Delivered to
State House Monday
Speaker Sal DiMasi Breaks Promise,
Fifth Politician Since 2002 to Violate Constitution
to Help Gay Marriage
Sal DiMasi has been telling his Reps it's
too late to call a vote on gay marriage this year because more important
matters loom. He tells them he regrets breaking his solemn promise to
have them vote on the Resolution of Rep. Emile Goguen (D-Fitchburg)
this year.
Such a vote would immediately Remove Chief Justice
Margaret Marshall and the three Associate Justices who signed her ruling
on gay marriage. It would instantly end gay marriage in Massachusetts
--- this year --- without any waiting. All that is needed
is a simple majority of the legislators in the House and in the Senate
to finally remove those judges.
It would
--- not could --- remove Marshall this year. DiMasi knows that!!! If
he didn't believe that Rep. Goguen's Resolution will pass, he would
allow a vote. The only reason DiMasi doesn't want a vote is because
he --- and the unknown bosses who control him --- know it will pass.
Speaker DiMasi
also realizes that the Associate Justices who disagree with Marshall
are passionate about their own ruling on gay marriage. They say
that only the Legislature, not the Court, has the power to do what Marshall
wants. Those three judges say that Marshall is VIOLATING our
Constitution, not following it.
Speaker Knows Reps Are Not Behind Him
Sal understands
he doesn't have the support of the Reps. He watched gay lobbyist Arlene
Isaacson attempt to take charge earlier in the year by pressuring the
Reps to publicly announce their support for gay marriage. However, only
20% agreed, despite a tremendous effort by Isaacson. That means 80%
are ready to vote either way, depending upon what they hear from the
voters.
The Speaker becomes
upset when he sees airplanes from "Mass. Citizens for Marriage"
in formation, circling the skies over Boston and beyond with the following
banner:
SPEAKER DIMASI BREAKS PROMISE --- AIDS GAY MARRIAGE
It's not too late for the Speaker to call a vote, says the attorney
for Mass. Citizens, J. Edward Pawlick. Atty. Pawlick says it's sad to
see the Speaker going down the same road that led Tom Birmingham to
the dust-heap in 2002, along with Shannon O'Brien.
DiMasi Has Already Broken the Law. How Can We Say That?
We're often asked
how we can say the Speaker broke the law. It's simple. The state Constitution,
which President John Adams wrote for us in 1780, indicates that Removal
of oppressive judges cannot be sent to a committee. We cannot delegate
this important duty to 6, 10 or 100 people on a committee. Every Legislator must vote and be counted. Otherwise, this
would be just another way for powerful politicians like Sal to delay
the process or kill it entirely, thus thwarting the will of the voters.
Pawlick Is an Experienced Trial Lawyer
Atty. Pawlick was
a trial lawyer before he founded Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly in 1972
after suddenly becoming the sole parent of his four children, who were
10, 8, 6 and 4. He could no longer practice law and did not want a nanny
raising his four children. So he raised them himself, at the same time
establishing his new business from his home. He continued as CEO of
the business (even after it grew to 120 employees including 40 lawyers)
until he sold it in 1997 and started Massachusetts News. He had to become
a trial lawyer again while battling the establishment in Massachusetts
since 1997.
"This isn't a
friendly game that Sal DiMasi is playing with us," says Pawlick.
"Mass. Citizens spent $1.7 million
in 2001-2002. Tens-of-thousands of volunteers worked long hours to get
the 130,000 signatures of registered voters, which put it way over-the-top.
But the politicians refused to vote on sending the Amendment to the
voters because they knew it would pass if they did.
"I've given my
life as a trial lawyer since 1997 trying to get some justice in this
matter. But all I have seen is corruption at every level. It is led
by the New York Times Company and its three newspapers which dominate
this state, the Globe, the Worcester Telegram and the New York Times
newspaper, plus the Associated Press, a cooperative which is controlled
by the Times."
Channel 38's Embrace of Judge Maria Lopez Is
Scary to Everyone
Almost everyone remembers
when Maria Lopez released a molester who had kidnapped an 11-year-old
boy and held a screwdriver to his throat while demanding homosexual
sex. A policeman saw what was happening and rescued the boy. The molester
was a transvestite.
Lopez had no supporters
when she finally resigned from the Superior Court. The Globe's Adrian
Walker reported that Judge Lopez "sparked a public outcry."
He wrote: "Judge Lopez has to go." Even the Globe's Eileen
McNamara said that Lopez showed a "pattern of bias, misrepresentation,
and deceit." The employees of the Globe feel that way but the owner,
Pinch Sulzberger, is on the opposite side. He has publicly encouraged
homosexuality since he took over the New York Times Company in 1997.
Judge Maria Lopez is planning
her own "court" show on Channel 38. A deal is imminent.
We'll see more and more of this type of thing if we don't remove Margaret
Marshall this year. Do we really want our children viewing this type
of porn on TV sets in their living room or those of their friends? .We
must let Channel 38 know our feelings about making Maria Lopez into
a TV star.
The
following articles can be found in their entirety on ww.massnews.com.
Sad to See Marshall Groveling, but It's Not
Surprising. When the Globe jumped to the defense of Margaret Marshall,
we knew she was in trouble. She has to learn to "keep her mouth
shut," they said.
Personally
Warned Two Years Ago. Judge Marshall was personally warned by Attorney Pawlick in May 2003 in front of all the Justices of the Supreme Judicial Court,
that a “seismic
revolution” would occur if she insisted upon imposing
gay marriage upon the state as she was planning.
Toying
with the Families of Three Judges Who Helped Her. Marshall is now toying with the families of the Associate
Justices who signed her illegal Order for gay marriage. They will lose
all their millions of dollars in pension benefits if they don't resign
quickly. This is a very dangerous game to play. Families of Roderick
Ireland and John Greaney, especially, are not rich. They have spent
almost three decades of their lives as judges and are dependent on their
pensions. (Ireland has 28-years of service; Greaney has 27-years.)
Despite
Calls from Judges, Lawyers and Legislators to Resign, Margaret Marshall
Continues to Damage the Court and Her Future. Even though many observers are advising Judge Marshall to
resign immediately, her failure to do so is causing puzzlement about
what is motivating her. The damage she is causing to the venerable Supreme
Judicial Court is troubling many lawyers, judges and others.
Marshall
Had to Write Two Rulings on Gay Marriage.
No one could understand her first ruling. Three of Marshall's own
Justices said her first decision was not “rational,” was “nonsensical,”
and the second opinion destroyed the “fig
leaf” of her first opinion.
