You need to take a look at what Romney knew about these judges at the time he appointed them

They were KNOWN FOR being pro-gay marriage activists/lobbyists before being appointed.

This could be more a case of Romney and his staff not anticipating where the liberal judiciary was going in Mass, rather than appointing known supporters of gay marraige.

He appointed pro-gay marriage activists/lobbyists who were personally homosexual and by the way were liberal Democrats.

Romney, despite his opposition to same-sex marriage, in May selected for a district court judgeship Stephen S. Abany, a former board member of the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association who organized the group's opposition to a 1999 bill to outlaw same-sex marriage. Just two days before the nomination, Romney was lamenting the liberal tilt of the state's bench, telling Fox News that ''our courts have a record here in Massachusetts, don't they, of being a little blue and being Kerry-like."

That latest judicial appointment is a strange decision for somebody considering a presidential campaign. Doesn't he know how much that appointment is going to hurt him in conservative states? I'm surpised that he made such a clumsy political move. It would be better to appoint somebody more conservative and then fight it out with the Governor's Council. Romney had better start moving to the right on key social issues or he can forget about winning the GOP primaries.

He did appoint activists judges, there is no disputing that. There is also the power of "Executive Order" for use by Governors, no only Presidents. MANY TIMES OVER Romney could have used that power and should have. He didn't. There are many other powers he has as governor, that he has not used. And not only regarding homosexuals and their fake, illegal marriage. But about DSS and their policies, which allow 40% of the children adopted in MA being placed with homosexuals.

Check out where THAT is headed:
