You must be joking. Fred's position on the FMA is going to cede territory to the enemy before the battle even starts.
“Fred’s position on the FMA is going to cede territory to the enemy before the battle even starts.”
LOL. Fred’s Amendment would have prevented Romney from acting as he did. It requires the state legislature alone, with the governor’s signature, to pass such a law. Had Fred’s Amendment been in place Romney would not have been able to implement the Goodridge decision, because the Goodridge decision itself would have been unconstitutional. Under Fred’s Amendment, any citizen could have sued Mitt in federal court to enjoin him from ordering the Clerks to issue the licenses. In other words, Fred’s Amendment would have protected Mitt from himself and Massachusetts from Mitt.
