Judges at Mercy of DiMasi
            Judge Marshall and the three judges who voted with her, don't yet realize they're at the mercy of Sal DiMasi, says Atty. J. Edward Pawlick.          
            "If those judges do not resign and are 'Removed' by the Legislature --- which will surely happen when this finally comes to a vote --- the judges will lose their pensions which amounts to well over $1 million each. But will DiMasi bring Rep. Goguen's Resolution to a vote? No one knows for sure. The only thing they do know is that Speaker DiMasi will do whatever is good for Sal DiMasi.
             "If anyone thinks we are being cruel and mean-spirited to the four judges, they should remember back to 2002 when those same judges 'sat-on-their-hands' after MCM spent $1.7 million and tens-of-thousands-of-people-hours in an honest, law-abiding effort to pass a Constitutional Amendment. Those judges chose to ignore our law-abiding citizens. 
            "I have 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 Boston Globe,  the Worcester Telegram and the New York Times newspaper, plus the Associated Press, a cooperative which is controlled by The New York Times Company.
            "I don't understand why I don't have more anger at these judges. I should. But if they do not now resign and they continue to harass and plague the honest citizens who are trying to follow the law with lawful Amendments to the Constitution, we will join any angry citizens who seek to strip the judges' pensions now, no matter what the judges do in the future to try and get back in the good graces of the citizens.
            "This isn't a friendly game we're playing with these judges and Sal DiMasi.  Mass. Citizens spent $1.7 million in 2001-2002. Tens-of-thousands of our volunteers worked long hours to get the130,000 signatures of registered voters, which put it way over-the-top. But the Democratic politicians refused to vote on sending the Amendment to the voters because they knew it would pass if they did."
