Uh, I don’t hate anyone.

But past performance is known to be a very accurate indicator of future behavior in office.

As governor of Massachusetts, Romney chose very liberal candidates for that State’s Supreme Court. He now says he had no choice in the matter.

Yeah, sure.

I suspect that Governor Romney didn’t quibblle or put up much of a struggle on the issue, being more intent to get along and be accepted.

We Republicans don’t need a doormat as president.

Have you actually investigated the process by which judges are appointed in MA?

Appears you didn't actually read the article:

Romney, Massachusetts governor from 2003 to 2007, did not have a chance to name someone to that state's highest court. But he sent signals that he wanted courts to move in a more conservative direction.

Romney frequently railed against a 2003 ruling from the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court that legalized same-sex marriage. In 2005, he told the Federalist Society, a conservative legal group, that the justices were threatening "great peril to the culture of our entire land," The Boston Globe reported at the time.

Although Romney's picks for lower state courts included many Democrats, his advisers say he was constrained by the state's liberal tilt, and he chose a Federalist Society member to run his selection process.

Since it is quite obvious that you didn't read the article it's also likely that you have no knowledge of who the Federalist Society is.

Educate yourself.

The Federalist Society

I can't stand lazy FReepers.

FReegards!
