No. The Massachusetts Constitution states:
"The power of suspending the laws,
or (suspending) the execution of the laws,
ought never to be exercised but by the legislature..."

Nope. It does not say on order of the carpetbagger Romney.
Nope. It does not say Mitt Romney can micturate on millions
of people (as he also did with the BIG DIG and with RomneyCARE).

You like all three, right? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Exactly! When taken in context, along with the rest of their opinion, that marriages may NOT be banned on the basis of gender, then it seems they are saying that Gov. Romney refusing to perform gay marriages would be an act of "suspending the laws".

They are, in effect, ordering Gov. Romney to allow same-sex marriages, and since the legislature refused to change the law, he simply had no other legal options left to him.

I think you're misinterpreting what was written and what happened.

Romney allied with the gay/lesbian gang on other issues, but I don't see him ever supporting gay marriage.
