Yesterday, the Supreme Court made a historic decision on the Affordable Care Act. See NDN Fellows Mike and Morley's take on it here. 

In an article in the Washington Times, Simon Rosenberg offered his take on the politics of the ruling:

"The late decisions by the Supreme Court this summer leaves the GOP's agenda in tatters," said Simon Rosenberg, president of NDN, a Democratic think tank in Washington. "Their efforts to overturn two administration efforts — immigration and health care reform — have failed. Obama comes out of this week much stronger, the Republicans weaker. His first term will now be seen as consequential, their opposition feckless."

This week, Simon Rosenberg was quoted in two articles on Hispanic voting:

“Obama to address Latino leaders a day after Romney” (AP)

 Simon Rosenberg, who follows immigration matters as head of the liberal-leaning group NDN, said the president's move on immigration not only helps him energize Latino voters, it also helps cast him as a president willing to take bold steps.

For a Latino community that worried that neither party was doing enough, "they now have a champion," he said. But, he added, "There will be a resonance beyond the Latino community."

“Mitt Romney tries to soften image among Hispanic voters” (Washington Post)

Democrats and liberal immigration advocates denounced the speech as a sign that he plans to hew closely to the wishes of the conservative Republican base. Said Simon Rosenberg, president of the liberal think tank NDN: "He had a chance to start fresh, but chose to double down on a set of policies simply unacceptable to the vast majority of Latinos."
