Today's Globe has an article about Romney's involvement in the South Carolina gay marriage fight. <BR/><BR/>I wish we could get a governor who actually represents <I>this</I> state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13062504.post-1151770850664902962006-07-01T13:20:00.000-03:002006-07-01T13:20:00.000-03:00"The Constitution does not prohibit the people fro..."The Constitution does not prohibit the people from making any decision. The Constitution allows for the people to overrule the judiciary, the executive or the legislative" branches, said Governor Romney. And he's dead wrong again. The Massachusetts Constitution specifically prohibits using the initiative process to overturn judicial decisions, which is precisely what the VoteOnMarriage.org petition does. This is why the SJC or the Legislature should stop the petition now. The only legal way for the SJC to be overruled in the Goodridge case is for the process of amending the state constitution to start in the legislature. This has already been done, and that failed, so Romney is just pandering to the right wingers who are against same sex marriage here and in other states.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13062504.post-1151549421931195522006-06-28T23:50:00.000-03:002006-06-28T23:50:00.000-03:00I just love how these folks would like to pretend ...I just love how these folks would like to pretend that LGBT people and our supporters are not among "the people."CrackerLilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176388186521154104noreply@blogger.com
