Ummm, Jillian? Romney didn't say what the OP says he said.
so he would make sure he didn't nominate someone with the integrity to do the right thing even if it goes against his political grain?
exactly why i'd never vote for romney.
Except that he did:
Mitt Romney said on Thursday he could no longer support Chief Justice John Roberts after his vote on the Affordable Care Act because Roberts acted too much in the interest of politics, but Roberts is not the only one on the court facing that criticism. Another Romney favorite, Antonin Scalia, has been weathering it as well.
