Of course it is. He swore to protect and uphold the Constitution. That's a solemn oath.

This is a childish interpretation. There is such a thing as areas of authority, jurisdiction, etc.

If I'm the Governor of, say, North Dakota, and I think the Constitution is being violated in Nebraska, what should I do?

Answer: Nothing more then a normal citizen. It's not in my area of authority.

In the same way, Governors shouldn't 'protect' the Constitution by violating the separation of powers set up by that same Constitution.

I've proven your idiocy about the Mass. Legislature wrong so many times, as have others, I'm not even going to bother again.

Yes, you're so adult. Just allow the courts to destroy American lives and pull down our most sacred institutions with both hands. So mature. Did you come of age in law school?

The Executive's primary duty is to protect the lives, the liberty and the property of the citizens he represents, and to protect and preserve the Constitution. Sorry to hear you can't understand those simple facts.

A worthless red herring.

Right. Sure. But you'll defend the court's "right" to legislate and execute from now 'til kingdom come.

Hardly. I keep asking you to provide the law that allows for gay marriage in MA, but you can't. You're quite literally "lawless," just as the court that decided Goodridge is lawless.

Well, run away, then.
