The Boston Globe: Romney jurist picks not tilted to GOP

When Mitt Romney was in a position to appoint judges, whom did he choose? "Romney, despite his opposition to same-sex marriage, in May selected for a district court judgeship Stephen S. Abany, a former board member of the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association who organized the group's opposition to a 1999 bill to outlaw same-sex marriage. Just two days before the nomination, Romney was lamenting the liberal tilt of the state's bench, telling Fox News that 'our courts have a record here in Massachusetts, don't they, of being a little blue and being Kerry-like.'"
