Don’t take it personally, Mitt, but I couldn’t help but appreciate the irony here.
Governor Romney’s campaign policy page (like many Republican candidates’ websites over the past few years) reports his determination to “nominate judges in the mold of Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito.” They were thought to be conservatism’s constitutional firewall, Save Jerseyans.
Fairly or not, after yesterday’s grim ObamaCare ruling, most of Governor Romney’s base is no longer in the mood for judges “in the mold of Chief Justice Roberts.” We’ll still take a double order of the other three, thank you very much!
Awkward, right? Perceived betrayal always is, folks. Interestingly, Governor Romney’s response to the ruling was extensive but he had remarkably little to say about the Court itself, choosing instead to focus on the law from a policy perspective:
What the court did today was say that Obamacare does not violate the Constitution. What they did not do was say that Obamacare is good law or that it’s good policy. Obamacare was bad policy yesterday. It’s bad policy today. Obamacare was bad law yesterday. It’s bad law today.”
Bottom line?
I’ll be very curious to see if the Chief Justice’s name stays on Mitt’s website!
Ugh.
Roberts showed that he is more concerned with how the SCOTUS would be perceived and instead of ruling on the act as it stood, he reached into great blue yonder and interpreted it as a tax. The mandate as a penalty was unconstitutional under the commerce clause. And a tax is not a tax under the anti injunction clause of the Constitution until it has been levied.Roberts can rest that he will still be invited to White House dinners while he betrayed "We The People" His Country and foremost the Constitution which he swore to uphold. So with that being said, Romney should ditch Roberts!
Mitt Romney is only taking the anti-Obamacare position because it's the only chance he has of getting elected. He loved this law when he himself made the move to implement it at the state level, and once approved of doing the same at the national level … even going so far as to say he did in the first edition of his book. I hate to break it to everyone, but if Romney gets in, Obamacare (a.k.a. nationalized Romneycare) stays in place.
