perhaps this has been posted under a different title - Romney has outlined a great argument IMO.

I read this in yesterday's Wall Street Journal editorial page. Good stuff. Mitt Romney is a beacon of hope in a desolate, lost world.

I think this was in the Wall Street Journal today too.
Great article. Great job Mitt. I didn't think he had the guts. He's a personally-opposed-but abortion supporter.

This can't be from a politician. It's too well-written, too concise, too intelligent, and too clear.
ABOUT FREAKING TIME we had a politician who defends our system of government -- separation of powers and all that.
The ULTIMATE check and balance on political power is the PEOPLE! In the end, the PEOPLE decide the great questions of our country through the ballot box -- or, in the case of slavery, through civil war. We CANNOT and WILL NOT accept a judicial tyranny in this country!

Talk is cheap. He should defy those black robed tyrants. They have no right to legislate from the bench. But he won't. Like Joe Lieberman, he'll cry crocodile tears for justice, then roll over.

By its decision, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts circumvented the Legislature and the executive, and assumed to itself the power of legislating. That is wrong.Bingo. It's legislating from the bench and patently unconstitutional. Does anyone know if this one is being passed up to SCOTUS?

Marriage should be defined by the people: Op-ED by Massachusetts GovernorIsn't this like something from THRU THE LOOKING GLASS?

Sometimes we forget that the ultimate power in our democracy is not in the Supreme Court but rather in the voice of the people. And the people have the exclusive right to protect their nation and Constitution from judicial overreaching. I love my Guv!
Thanks for posting this, rface.

As a result, marriage bears a real relation to the .well-being, health and enduring strength of society. That is EXACTLY why it is under attack. The enemies of our society and civilization are using our compassion against us with their bogus pleas for 'fairness' and 'equality'.

Hate to diss Romney's ideas, but marriage has already been defined.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church
1660 The marriage covenant, by which a man and a woman form with each other an intimate communion of life and love, has been founded and endowed with its own special laws by the Creator. By its very nature it is ordered to the good of the couple, as well as to the generation and education of children. Christ the Lord raised marriage between the baptized to the dignity of a sacrament (cf. CIC, can. 1055 § 1; cf. GS 48 § 1).
|
1625 The parties to a marriage covenant are a baptized man and woman, free to contract marriage, who freely express their consent; "to be free" means: - not being under constraint; - not impeded by any natural or ecclesiastical law.
