"The court merely issued an opinion stating that, in its view, the existing marriage law was unconstitutional because it failed to allow persons of the same sex to marry," Keyes said. "The court then gave the legislature 180 days to 'take such action as it may deem appropriate in light of this opinion' – implicitly telling lawmakers to come up with a new marriage statute."

hmm..WND and Dr. Keyes seem to be implying that governors and legislatures can simply ignore court rulings.

Without going into the merits of that opinion it should be pointed out that it is simply their opinion.

Keyes is correct. The NewYorkTimes' Judge in MA created gay marriage
in violation of the MA Constitution. No problem though, for pro-DNC Romney.

Ignoring the MA Constitution, Romney got down on his knees (after consulting
his church for an OK) and ordered the Mass clerks to ignore the Constitution
and obey the judge from south africa and the New York Times.

Romney is the DNC's secret agent.

Surrounded by Sen. Kennedy and other beaming Democrats,
who admire their owned, trained, docile pandering RINO-Governor
who is delighted to install HillaryCARE without a vote.

Sen. John Kerry to Don Imus on RomneyCARE=HillaryCARE: "I like this health care bill".

Sen. Hillary Clinton on RomneyCARE=HillaryCARE: "To come up with a bipartisan plan in this polarized environment is commendable."

You seem to be ignoring that Judges can just igore the law (seperation of powers) and Constitutions, and that civil officials have a higher duty to uphold them, not silly court decisions based on judicial activism..!
