Can't find an article for this yet. CBS will probably have something later.

Isn’t this kind of like Michael Moore telling people that they ought to go on a diet?

But . . . but . . . I saw reports elsewhere on FR that Romney had declared a moratorium on discussions of the SCOTUS ruling.

CBS News article up now:

As for a previous report that Chief Justice John Roberts changed his mind in the Supreme Court ruling, Romney was asked about that. He said it made it look like the decision wasn't based on the Constitution, that maybe it was political and that the Court was concerned about the Court and its relationship with the other branches. He said that's something that only the chief justice will know, and if and when he decides to tell us could be sometime way in the future.

Romney: the king of the 3 day later comment. The “let me see the way the wind is blowing” guy of all guys.

What a leader — What a Man; What a Mouse: Mighty Mitt!

[Para-Ord.45]

Hopefully Mittens listened to Mark Levin dissect the insane Judas Roberts decision and could come to no other conclusion afterwords.

To say it was politics would be giving Roberts too much credit. It was PR, popularity ratings, legacy building before his epilepsy drives him from the court. Little did he know that his actions would forever equate his name with taking a dump.

If Romney takes on “Roberts vs. The Constitution” as the central theme of his campaign, sells it, wins election, repeals ObamaCare, appoints Supreme Court Justices who, in their nomination hearings, all criticize the ruling in “Roberts vs. The Constitution” as at least questionable, then and only then will I give him props.

Romney Criticizes Roberts ObamaCare Decision as 'Political, not based on Constitution'

It was political. Designed solely to help Romney. And then Romney promptly threw him under the bus.

These people are a moral and political train-wreck.

[RegulatorCountry]

Well, at least he’s got his finger in the right wind, although I have next to zero faith that it will remain there for long.

Romney Criticizes Roberts ObamaCare Decision as 'Political, not based on Constitution'

As if Romney ever cared a flying fig about the Constitution.

[Red Steel]

Ronmey got that finger in the wind. Yup, the Conservatives are pissed off.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

The RomneyCare mandate is political, not based on the Constitution, too!

[WashingtonSource]

I’m glad he has taken the stand, albeit belatedly. It is still important that he has called out Roberts.

[napscoordinator]

I guess feels it is safe to be against it....took him long enough. God Bless our Country with this turd as our President.....Yes Yes better than Obama....I guess having someone substandard in conservatism is ok for most on here.

Romney went as far as he could without personally offending Roberts, whose good graces he may need for eight years. Romney had previously said that he agreed with the dissent. He also gave no credence to the spurious observations about Roberts limiting the Commerce Clause which some might have expected from him. Finally, he avoided the puerile "it's a tax" demagoguery.

Romney responded well to this decision. I am pleasantly surprised.
