This is just more evidence of Romney's failure to lead. He could have ignored and refused to implement the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court's activist and ultra vires opinion. Conservatives begged him to choose this course. He opted to implement gay marriage even though the Court lacked the power to order it. Then, having allowed the travesty, he set him self up as its opponent so that he could establish his conservative bona fides. The Dobsons of the world bought it hook, line and sinker. If he had been a conservative and a constitutionalist, like Fred Thompson, he would have ignored the unlawful ruling.

It is the Tammany Ring.

We see this all the time in life.

The judge who tells the defendant write the legislator.
The legislator who says blame the voters.

"If there were no Massachusetts Constitution, no other proof of the high crime of Mitt Romney – this ruling proves that Mitt Romney had a choice and he chose wrong. He imposed homosexual marriage illegally, using the Goodridge decision as a smokescreen.

That's a bit strong, but basically true. At least that's my view from here in MA. Mitt's the type of guy who will speak out against abortion and the homosexual agenda, as long as it doesn't mess up his hair. IOW, don't count on him to do any heavy lifting.
