All this started with Willard Mitt Romney Ordering the clerks to obey HIM and violate the Mass. Constitution.

Let's not be silly. It started with Roe v. Wade and its emanations and penumbras.

To function well, any Constitution must have a way of applying that document to a given case. Otherwise, each person determines the meaning of the Constitution for himself, which is pretty obviously a recipe for chaos.

That the Courts have grossly overstepped the bounds of their role in this regard does not change the fact that it is a necessary role.

Actually it started before Roe. The "umbras, penumbras, and emanations" [along with silly 14th Amendment "substantive due process" arguments and less silly but still pretty silly Ninth Amendment claims] were actually not made in Roe but in the majority opinion in Griswold v. Connecticut, upon which Roe is almost entirely based.

Silly?

Nonsense.

This thread is about gay (Romney-instituted) marriage.
It began with the rat, Willard Romney, forced
the Mass. Clerks to overide the Mass. Constitution.
The same rat Romney who then attacked Gov. Palin
through surrogates because of HIS jealousy,
and that made Obama pRes_ _ent.
