SCOTUS Knocks Stool Right out from Mitt's Ass

But, But, But … Teh Constitution!

JOSH MARSHALL JUNE 28, 2012, 4:13 PM 3250
This point hadn’t really sunk in to me. But it did click pretty quickly with TPM Reader SR. From the start, Mitt Romney has faced the problem that his party is doggedly opposed to a policy that he originated (or was at least the first to enact). To square the circle he said the policy was awesome but it was only acceptable at the state and not the federal level — because it violated the constitution. Fair enough in structural terms if not quite true. But now the Court has knocked that stool right out from under him.

It was a security check.

And the guy giving the check asked Romney to sit.
