Are you seriously disputing the notion that the judiciary has the power to interpret the law?

"By the constitution of the United States, the president is invested with certain important political powers, in the exercise of which he is to use his own discretion, and is accountable only to his country in his political character, and to his own conscience."

- Justice John Marshall, Marbury v Madison

Of course not. But when they abuse their power, and move to co-opt the powers of the other two branches, those branches have a duty to exercise their power to rein them in. Why do you fail to understand something so simple?

Mitt Romney had a chance to do something great for his state and for his country, to, through the courageous act of doing NOTHING; rein in the judicial activists of the left...but proved himself not up to the task.

Considering the fact that up to that point the Governor was firmly in bed with the forces of gay radicalism, one must ask whether he didn't get exactly the result he was after, in any case.
