Mitt Romney actually said...

"We'll let the future take care of itself."

"And we'll have legislation which conforms in the law. But we will at the same time initiate a constitutional amendment process."

"In some cases, the crime is so awful and offends the society in such a way that considering the ultimate penalty is something that we want to be able to do."

"When we remove the uncertainty, which is normally associated with a conviction, and we hold to a higher standard, a higher evidentiary standard, a matter that would involve the ultimate penalty."
