As a leader in the Mormon church Mitt Romney has many times made the below covenant in the mormon temple.
"...you will be required to take upon yourselves sacred obligations, the violation of which will bring upon you the judgment of God; for God will not be mocked.
...so we should covenant to sacrifice all that we possess, even our own lives if necessary, in sustaining and defending the Kingdom of God.
...You and each of you covenant and promise before God, angels, and these witnesses at this altar, that you do accept the Law of Consecration as contained in the Doctrine and Covenants, in that you do consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion.
Each of you bow your head and say yes."
It seems Mitt Romney has obligations whose authority supercedes the the constitution and whose interests may conflict with the constitution.
Mormons have a history of "lying for the lord". They will say one thing, but because it is for the Lord they will do something completely different.
