Latest Trick by Four SJC Judges to Avoid Removal Will
Fail
By MassNews Staff
The latest trick by the
four SJC judges to avoid “removal” from the bench (under a Resolution
filed by Rep. Emile Goguen, a Democrat from Fitchburg) is so obvious that
it will totally fail, says Sally Pawlick, President of Mass. Citizens
for Marriage.
“These four judges still
rule the SJC with an iron hand as they did when they enacted homosexual
marriage in a four-to-three decision,” says Pawlick, in a press release.
“They have just announced
they will finally listen to oral arguments on a request that was filed
on April 20, 2004 to block the ruling that legalized homosexual “marriage”
in Massachusetts. This is their final desperate attempt to pretend that
they are cooperating. But the truth about this strange timing is that
they are merely trying to delay the inevitable, their impending “removal”
by the legislature under Rep. Goguen’s Resolution. They know that any
delay in action upon that Resolution will help only them. They are hoping
that the citizens are not smart enough to see that they are only pretending
and will be able to delay and delay this case for a t least another year
or more and frustrate everyone.
“They fully understand that the belief
of everyone --- liberals and conservatives --- is that this country will
be better off when these four people just disappear, whether by resignation
or ‘removal.’ They desperately hope if they can slow down the process,
some miracle might save them. Or that the mental fatigue of the citizens
will move them on to other things.
“We are witnessing the ‘death throes’ of these
four judges. We must not allow them to delay the process in this manner
as they struggle to redeem themselves from the SJC opinion they authored
in November 2003, imposing their will against that of the majority of
citizens of Massachusetts and the nation.
“While we can not stop
the Court from hearing this case, we must not allow them to divert us
from our need for the required, speedy vote under our state Constitution
on Rep.Goguen’s Resolution, which would remove homosexual “marriage” immediately,
not next month or next year.”
Who Are the Lawyers Handling This Case?
Sally Pawlick also questioned the
wisdom of an out-of-state group of lawyers coming to Massachusetts.
“The arrival last year
of ‘Focus on the Family,’ an evangelical Christian organization from Colorado.was
sad to watch. As they totally dominated the state with a $120 million
budget, they were exhorting us to run faster-and-faster, while their founder,
James Dobson, was telling national television that we were doomed to failure.
“There is no dispute
that Focus spent millions in marketing costs to raise even more millions
for themselves by telling the nation that they were protecting them from
Massachusetts residents, who believe the same as everyone else but have
been targeted by the owner of the New York Times/Boston Globe conglomerate
in a struggle with all of his ‘homophobic’ ancestors.
“This year, the Protestant
‘Focus’ group has quietly joined the other national family groups and
has finally agreed to oppose national efforts to allow civil unions. They
will oppose both homosexual ‘marriage’ and civil unions.
“Now we have the Catholic
‘Thomas More Center’ arriving from Michigan and telling us that the latest
trick from the SJC makes them ‘extremely pleased’ about this ‘last legal
action’ that they say would be ‘capable of stopping same-sex marriage
in Massachusetts.’ But they don’t tell us how they could possibly be monitoring
50 states and knowing the intimate nuances of every state. Have they never
heard about Rep. Goguen’s Resolution which will soon end homosexual marriage
now, not in the future?
Four
Judges Led by Native of South Africa
The four judges are
led by a native of South Africa, Chief Justice Margaret Marshall, who
was welcomed by the extreme liberals when she first arrived here in 1968,
two years out of college. After prospering here and being appointed to
the SJC by her neighbor, Bill Weld, she told 300 lawyers and judges in
attendance at the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association in 1999
that they should follow the law in South Africa, which favors homosexuality
and they should stop looking to American law.
“Shortly after making
her speech to the Gay Bar Association, Judge Marshall was appointed Chief
Justice. She was strongly supported by the Boston Globe, which never revealed
its conflict of interest in that her husband, columnist Anthony Lewis,
works for the Times.. This got Marshall deep into the intrigue at the
Globe/NYTimes complex where the new Chairman of the Times, William O.
Sulzberger, Jr., is attempting to correct the ‘homophobia’ of all his
ancestors. Thus, he is campaigning for all homosexual causes, including
homosexual ‘marriage.’ The obvious place for him to start is here in Massachusetts,
where he totally dominates the media with the Globe, the Times, the Worcester
Telegram, the Associated Press (
a cooperative owned by the daily newspapers and dominated by the largest
papers, especially the Times) and others.
“We had a difficult road
ahead with that awesome display of power. We have won the battle. But
we must control the out-of-state lawyers who seek to use us as a tool
for building their reputations.”
No
Desire to Punish
Pawlick says that it certainly
would be appropriate to punish Judge Marshall (and the three Associate
Justices who assisted her) for her unethical behavior in advising the
lawyers in advance how she planned to rule in the case. However, not many
citizens are interested in punishment at this point.
“We do not seek punishment.
We desire only to heal the country. The best way to accomplish that is
for these judges to resign, not prolong this battle. Apparently they do
not understand this is in their best interest. If they continue their
present course and are removed for ‘fault,’ they will be in serious danger
of losing the $1 million to $2 million or more in retirement benefits
each of them now has. If that occurs, they will have no one to blame but
themselves.”
