News Analysis: Countdown to the Firing of SJC Judges
Homosexual Marriage Will End Quickly Only Because of John Adams
By MassNews Staff
            Homosexual marriage will be ended quickly in Massachusetts this year only because our second President, John Adams, wrote our Constitution in 1780 and included a provision for citizens to “remove” tyrannical judges immediately.
            The Speaker of the House in 2005, Sal DiMasi (D-Boston), knows all about this (unlike most Reps and Senators).  An astute, crafty veteran, a survivor and a practicing trial lawyer, DiMasi has agreed to follow our Constitution and allow a vote of his 160 Representatives even though they could could immediately fire the four SJC judges who voted in Nov. 2003 to impose homosexual “marriage.” DiMasi has no realistic choice other than to allow a vote of the legislators inasmuch as the Democratic support of homosexual “marriage” is destroying his Party in this state.
            DiMasi has personally witnessed two powerful leaders go to political graveyards since 2002, Senate President Tom Birmingham (who had been slated to become Governor in 2002) and Speaker Tom Finneran who suddenly resigned in the summer of 2004. In addition, DiMasi has also felt the sting of national Democratic pundits who are blaming the four SJC judges for the nationwide loss by John Kerry of the Presidential election.
            The Speaker has no choice other than to quickly put this issue behind him and his Party. He has privately assured legislators he will follow the law and allow a vote to be taken.
            He saw the ambitions of Senate President Tom Birmingham to become Governor deflated when he broke the law and violated the state Constitution on July 17, 2002. Birmingham is now a private lawyer and has publicly said that his dream was lost because he broke the law in a desperate effort to stop the “Protection of Marriage Amendment” from Massachusetts Citizens for Marriage from going to a vote in the legislature.
            DiMasi also knows that former Speaker Tom Finneran is a private lawyer now because he, too, violated the state Constitution in 2002. (Finneran personally did not vote to violate the Constitution that year and pretended to be against any violation of the law, while letting Birmingham take the heat for the violations that were taking place.)

           
        This airplane banner flew over Tom Finneran’s house on the Cape in the summer of 2004 after he violated the Massachusetts Constitution.

            Speaker Finneran repeated his unlawful activities again in the summer of 2004 by refusing to allow a vote to take place. As a result, Finneran’s wife was besieged with banner airplanes flying over their house on the Cape beginning on July 4, 2004 (as well as in the sky over many locations across the state, including the State House).
