Romney has consistently opposed SSM.

The flip-flopper on this issue is Obama.

The correct answer to the question is “No”.

No, that is what he has consistently said. But, signing gay marriage into law in Massachusetts indicates he is a liar.

Courts can’t force legislators into creating laws, period.

Good point. Now we know what he was really talking about with “forward”.

I think that the idea for Obama’s “Forward” and MSNBC’s “Lean Forward” were hatched at the same meeting by some of the same people.

Try not to be so succinct next time. You leave me nothing to argue with.

Wrong again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodridge_v._Department_of_Public_Health

“In a 50-page, 4–3 ruling on November 18, 2003,[3] the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court found that the state may not “deny the protections, benefits and obligations conferred by civil marriage to two individuals of the same sex who wish to marry.”

The court gave the State Legislature 180 days to “take such action as it may deem appropriate” before issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.[1]”

A court has no legal authority to force legislators into making laws.
