mitt romney was very very confident that the supreme court would deem that
mandate at at at
unconstitutional
so i feel even interview and uh... during that interview he talked about
how democrats must be feeling at that period
let's once at the end of it
very clear
big decisions coming tomorrow for the supreme court
my guess is that not sleeping pill well at the white house tonight
at my politics is actually giving a speech but maybe it's just a few seattle
an idea of how
it unconstitutional
but they're not all of the study justice roberts comes through for the
progressives for the liberals we didn't expect that at all
so really quickly you-know-what ladies what are your thoughts on that because
a lot of people are a must conspiratorial about the way that
justice roberts ruled in this decision generally thought i would think that i
did that the sense that i get out at my house at that point i really quick n
major props to that brian dealer uh... tpm
because he doesn't recall that back in march he was listening
to the oral arguments and he was the one that that noted that literally exchange
that magic justice robert aimed at in dot discussing the idea of it being more
of a tax in allowable has attacks
any comment back then and antony
i think that the uh...
well-intended
star and one reason i was going to happen unless i'm not justice roberts in
how that's right he's an old friend about his legacy how hard that i want to
make sure i think he's really concerned about his legacy and what this looks
like over time because obviously scalia has gone way out to the right in the
even happened but that he released recently
that i talked about how he's changed his mind he's gone very political summary
justice roberts is concerned i remember justice roberts was appointed by
president but right and and there was
this entire question of whether or not he was going to be an activist judge and
i remember him saying
that he his fault point was to be unbiased
to be moderate and you know even though he leaned conservative he was making the
argument that now i'm not gonna lead let my own ideologies takeover but that's
pleaded let his own ideologies takeover but then all of us and he comes out with
a surprisingly jackie do you think that this is his attend to it
welcome moderate when in reality after this is probably just going to vote
conservative leon every other issue listened being one
branded stuff that's how honestly what's going through his mind at this time
on hand but this is a baby and i think that when you look at this and we always
talk about the policy the policy the policy and the politics
but these are actual people's lives
and if he's the guy
turned down affordable accessible health care for millions and millions of
americans what kind of like the battery for him as a human
let alone is the chief justice of the supreme court
so i think there is that legacy
as being too conservative and not wanting to be
uh... they have an activist court anything on the other side of his legacy
i think it's humint and does not want to be the guy pixel affordable health care
away from all of these people who need if you hear the stories day-in and day
out unita is a real human lives this is not just
political games on capitol hill anyone still losing
we've got all really really comfortable with the idea that we're not gonna win
so i think a lot of that printed today to said you know medium is a chance that
we can get those that have a what was alongside magistad personnel possible
way we can get the best possible outcome
absolutely
now look this is you want to make a comment
but but but but movies and i would appreciate your time so they're actually
this is a bit earlier and he actually did great point about uh... john roberts
uh... rolling in this case uh... tell me why i just as kennedy had said
but they would be a so that's that's basically i think that
the biggest
uh... kind of indicators that
you know it's it is in the interest if your ah...
if you're conservative in you want the supreme court to rule conservatively and
you know the coming years
it's in their interest for the supreme court to be viewed as a legitimate
and i think that
uh... because of how extreme the descent was in this case were all where
basically justice kennedy's dissent said what we think the whole thing is invalid
so of roberts had sided with that
i think that the reaction from the country and specially from database that
half of the country that
is supportive of this flaw in all
beat it would be very damaging to the image of the supreme court and
we already
you have a very strong sense of the supreme court as partisan as bias
but this would be basically kind of a nail in the coffin and i think that
roberts
made a very shrewd
sort political calculation in nineteen eighteen soft look
as innocent
you know more moderate and and d_c_ logs that so they're in a totally fawn over
this
also it sets him up in the future to be able to make the conservative rulings he
wants to
without having
pat this peace arch divisive
ruling that no one's gonna
that people are always going to say well the sprinkler system bias
