You Rombots are busy today, posting all sorts of typical Mittiac fabrications. Here's an example of what it takes to expose your campaign of deceit (from another thread where a Rombot tried to claim Mitt was forced to institute 'gay marriage'):

"... the ACTUAL truth concerning the existing MA law, and what the Supreme Court actually said contradicts what your are posting. It is obvious that the following information is more compelling and relevant than your (and the allegedly "neutral" party's you cite) attempts to make it appear that Romney "tried" to stop the homosexual marriage. He was never compelled to initiate anything by any court, through any court order, or through any law.

... when the Goodridge decision came forth and supposedly legalized gay marriage. The Goodridge decision didn’t even claim to legalize it. It simply declared that it was unconstitutional not to let homosexuals marry. Now there are so many problems in treating this as law. The Massachusetts says the people are not controllable by any laws not ratified by their elected representatives in the Legislature. So bang, that means right there that the Goodridge decision is not law and nobody can treat it as law.

It says also (that) the power of suspending the laws shall be exercised only by the Legislature. Well the statutes, the marriage statutes, even Goodridge, the court opinion that everyone says “legalized gay marriage,” even that opinion says that the statute doesn’t allow gay marriage. And the attorney for the homosexual plaintiffs came out of the courtroom after that ruling and said, “The only thing that remains now for gay marriage to happen is for the Legislature to change the law.”

Well that never happened. The law in Massachusetts, the statutes, ratified by the people’s elected representatives in the Legislature, still did not allow gay marriage. Well, what happened was Romney hired constitutional law professors and lawyers, Jay Sekulow and Mary Ann Glendon at Harvard (and some of this has never been reported, what’s happened), and they lined up and said he had no choice.

Now I happen to know some of these people like Mary Ann Glendon, a retired Massachusetts Supreme Court Justice, told him privately, told Romney privately, (that) he should ignore Goodridge, said it was not binding, it had no impact unless the Legislature changed the law.

But Romney had made promises to the Log Cabin Republicans. [One of those 90 promises he kept that his sycophancy tout as his record in office without details!]
