CBS News Chief Political Correspondent Jan Crawford reports in an exclusive interview:
Mitt Romney says Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts erred in his conclusions in upholding the individual mandate in President Obama's signature health care reform law.

But in an exclusive interview at Romney's New Hampshire vacation home Wednesday, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee told CBS News Chief Political Correspondent Jan Crawford he views the mandate as a tax — because the high court said so — even though he feels Roberts' decision to uphold the law wasn't "accurate" or "appropriate."

I think it is fun that when Obama commented on a supreme court ruling he didn't agree with (corporations are citizens), he was deemed unAmerican by Mitt. How things are different when the same court rules the other way on another issue. Surely More..
