Much leftie worry about Newt.

Not that he'd do this right.

[nickcarraway]

Isn’t Gingrich the one who implied, “right wing social engineering,” was the greatest threat to the U.S.?

[muawiyah]

Naw, it wouldn't be like that.

He's slicker'n airy nekkid butt on a cold, snowy night ~ what Newt would do is RELOCATE THE COURT.

There are a lot of places to put a court. The judges don't get to chose that part.

There are empty buildings near Dawson ~

San Francisco? Lefty land personified. What they think out there I pay no attention to.

Next case.

Lower courts exist by law that can be repealed. Send the judges home with pay. Scotus is there by the Constitution.

Only through a political and economic Big Bang may our country save itself. Part of that is to clean the Marxists out of the lower courts. Disestablish them and start over. It is constitutional. It is necessary. What is left of our republic will not survive another rat or placeholder pubbie President.

It must be getting tough to find something new to lay on Newt every day.

Wouldn’t it be easier to take things out of their purview by limiting their jursdiction?

The person who wrote this article, Ken Klukowski, is a conservative.

[newzjunkey]

The writer, Ken, seems to be confused because FDRs court-packing scheme was aimed at SCOTUS and specifically because it had begun rejecting his New Deal.

Newt's targeting lower courts.

[hinckley buzzard]

The Constitution grants to Congress the power to establish courts and tribunals below the Supreme Court, so presumably it also has power to disestablish courts it deems no longer useful or necessary.

Jefferson thought so, and the SCOTUS did not intefere, so I guess I'd believe it. No wonder the current crop of "constitutional scholars" are uneasy though. It threatens to upset their little fiefdoms in the appellate court system where they can "pass" laws the legislature won't touch. Original intent scares the bejesus out of leftwing looneys.

[Logical me]

Once again, Newt is right. The courts must be purged of activist judges. The communists courts will tie up our system so tight that nothing can be done. Rotten judges are just that rotten judges.

[chris37]

I’m for eliminating judges altogether.

One thing mankind is not capable of is making sound judgments, it’s time we stop kidding ourselves.

Done for the evening, goodnight.
