Judicial Activism For Me
By Mitt Romney goes to the next step in his program against an out-of-control state judiciary that had the un-American arrogance to scrutinize legislative enactments for their consistency with the state constitution:
Gov. Mitt Romney said Sunday he would ask the state’s highest court to order an anti-gay marriage amendment question onto the ballot if legislators fail to vote on the matter when they reconvene in January.
Romney said he would file a legal action this week asking a justice of the Supreme Judicial Court to direct the secretary of state to place the question on the ballot if lawmakers don’t vote directly on the question on Jan. 2, the final day of the session.
In case you had any doubts that the procedural objections to state judicial decisions that favor gay rights are any less farcical than most claims that opposition to Roe v. Wade is about “federalism.”
