Nope. I would oppose changing the rules mid-way through the game. If people knew Roths would be taxed, they might not have used them in the same way. If they want to change the rules for new accounts, that is one thing but don't change the rules on existing accounts.
What I can definitely see happening, though, is means testing for SS benefits. So that person who built up a huge Roth or 401k might find they don't qualify for full SS benefits, if any at all. I would oppose that, too, but I think that is more likely to happen than taxing Roths.
