"Massachusetts had a similar problem, but Gov. Romney just ordered the Clerks to obey."

"Unlike Massachusetts, which has no statutes on marriage licenses, forms and processes, California cannot change its standard marriage form or processes until the Legislature passes and the governor signs legislation in response to the Supreme Court's ruling,"

The Massachusetts Constitution (the oldest in the US, perhaps)
forbade the Court from their decision if, and only if,
Romney had done nothing.

Instead, RINO (docile puppet of the DNC) Romney
ignored the Constitution and
enforced the illegal order to the Clerks.

Therefore, Romney played ‘victim’ (but the Maucks were unavailable for comment).

Yeah...I'd like to know where he gets that. It's not in the California Family Code online, from what I see.

In fact, in section 355, it seems to give the power to create the forms to the Department of Public Health...

355. (a) The forms for the marriage license shall be prescribed by the State Department of Public Health, and shall be adapted to set forth the facts required in this part.

Maybe he's actually referring to Section 300, which says, in part:

300. (a) Marriage is a personal relation arising out of a civil contract between a man and a woman, to which the consent of the parties capable of making that contract is necessary.
(and the forms, therefore, don't meet "all the facts required in this part," perhaps?)
