Mass, Marriage, and Mitt
Marriage vote suit delivered to SJCRomney, 10 others see constitution violation Romney, an outspoken opponent of gay marriage and a likely presidential candidate, and 10 other plaintiffs said legislators subverted the democratic process on Nov. 9 when they met in joint session as a constitutional convention and took no action on the ban. The Legislature voted, 109 to 87, to recess before taking a vote on whether to put the proposed amendment on the 2008 ballot. "This is no longer just about gay marriage," Romney's spokesman, Eric Fehrnstrom , said of the suit filed with the Supreme Judicial Court. "It's about the right of the people to participate in their own government." Posted by: .com 2006-11-25 |
