Banners Fly Over Boston, Chastising DiMasi
   Three planes carrying banners criticizing Speaker DiMasi for his decision to ignore the resolution to remove the four rogue SJC judges flew over Boston yesterday.

The three banners circled Cambridge and then flew across the Charles River to Fenway Park, then by Prudential and John Hancock, to circle over the Boston Common, the State House and then along the Charles back to Fenway.

        The planes pulled a simple message: "Speaker DiMasi Breaks Promise --- Aids Gay Marriage." Speaker DiMasi has reneged on an earlier promise to have the "removal" resolution authored by Rep. Emile Goguen come to a vote. A vote to remove the four judges would negate the Goodridge decision that created gay marriage and bring Massachusetts back into compliance with the 49 other states in the country, as well as the federal government, with respect to the definition of "marriage".

        The neighbors and families of judges Margaret Marshall in Cambridge, Judith Cowin in West Newton and Roderick Ireland in Milton saw the three airplanes flying in formation over their houses yesterday. If the judges resign, their families will not lose their pensions, which will occur if they force the Legislature to remove them from office.
        Earlier this month, Mass. Citizens for Marriage created a stir in the local press and talk radio programs by flying a banner over the TV38 building telling their executives to say "No" to the planned Judge Lopez television program.

Channel 38 had airplanes in formation buzzing their Soldiers Field offices in protest of the planned Maria Lopez afternoon show, which would be aimed at teenagers.

       Lopez earned for herself national infamy by handing down a sentence of "probation" to a transvestite sexual predator who forced a twelve year old to perform a sex act. Hearings on the judge's decision determined that she had preconceived biases that made her favorably predisposed towards transvestites. She was also accused of misleading the public and lying under oath. She resigned her position as judge in 2003.
