Facts seem to always ruin a good and endlessly repeated rant.

Just to review:

The MA supreme court legalized Homo marriage which Romney was against.

The court gave the state 180 days to comply.

On the last possible day, after the legislature did not act, Romney made the move to obey the court order.

If Romney is the father of homosexual marriage, then there are a lot of conservative governors (who did not ignore the court in Roe vs Wade) who are the fathers of legalized abortion.

The court gave the legislature 180 days to comply.

Romney jumped the gun on the legislature.

HOWEVER, Goode has said that Romney did not “stand fast”.

That is entirely accurate. Even by your claim, Romney still caved in rather than fight.

Here is a fact I would like to know: Exactly how did the SC of MA "legalize" homo marriage? Are you saying those judges have the right to create Laws and change the State Constitution like that from the bench?

Another question: what were the reprecussions to Governor Willard (sworn to uphold the laws and constitution of the state) for ignoring the judges' unenforcable judicial activism as the legislature did?

The MA supreme court legalized Homo marriage which Romney was against. The court gave the state 180 days to comply.

Both of which actions by the Supreme Court of MA were illegal and unconstitutional by the Constitution of MA.

Furthermore, Romney was warned way in advance by many legal scholars and conservatives that this was the case, and instead of performing his duty, and responsibility as Chief Executative of the State of MA and refusing to implement a ruling that was both illegal and unconstitutional, he folded.

HARRISBURG, PA, January 19, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A letter addressed to Massachusetts’ ex-governor Mitt Romney has just been made public in which 44 conservative, pro-family leaders from across the nation requested that before stepping down from office, Romney would adhere to the Massachusetts Constitution and repeal his order directing public officials to perform ‘same-sex marriages’.

The letter was hand delivered to members of Romney’s staff on December 20th, 2006 at his office. Romney took no action to adhere to the letter’s requests before he left office at the beginning of the New Year.

The letter cited numerous, historical cases and the Massachusetts’ Constitution to assert that Romney’s actions in implementing ‘gay marriage’ were beyond the bounds of his authority as governor. The authors further asserted that his actions were unconstitutional as were the actions of the four initial judges who formulated the official opinion on the matter in the ‘Goodridge’ case, the case that originally brought the matter to national attention.

Commenting on the ‘Goodridge’ opinion, Judge Robert Bork said that it was “untethered to either the Massachusetts or United States Constitution.”

As quoted in the letter, the MA Constitution denies the judicial branch of its government any authority over the state’s marriage policies. So it was that three of the seven judges that heard the Goodrich case strongly dissented that the court did not have authority to formulate laws.

The letter also outlined how the MA Constitution forbids judges from establishing or altering law. According to the Constitution, such a task is to be left to the legislature. The judges’ opinion in the Goodrich case admitted that they were not altering the standing marriage statute in MA.

Instead, Governor Romney took it upon himself, despite legal counsel to do otherwise, to order officials across the state that they would have to perform ‘gay marriages’, even though, according to Massachusetts law, to do so is a crime. Officials who refused were advised to resign their position.
