Gingrich is 100% correct about the activist judges and courts. They need to be brought down!!
Romney will simply kiss their asses.
Yes and Mitt’s behavior is a protected by the Constiution!
"I was in support of holding the judges accountable before I was against it."
What a load of hogwash. The Republican Party is in dire straits if an idiot like this can be one of the Party's Presidential frontrunners. The GOP needs a good cleaning out of the rot and decay before the entire Party is brought down. If Myth Romney manages to steal the nomination, I truly believe that the GOP will disintegrate and go the way of the Whigs.
Gingrich is not just about saying judges need to be “brought down.” He has said they should be impeached. That should not be controversial at all, it is explicitly provided for as a power of Congress in the Constitution, as explained originally by Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 81. The idea of subpoenaing judges, and if need be arresting them to enforce the power to bring them before Congress to testify, is more unprecedented and controversial, but is still nonetheless about bringing them before Congress to testify about their own rulings so that Congress can be informed before impeaching the judge. That itself does not seem altogether terribly radical to me. Federalist No. 81 states:
“It may in the last place be observed that the supposed danger of judiciary encroachments on the legislative authority, which has been upon many occasions reiterated, is in reality a phantom. Particular misconstructions and contraventions of the will of the legislature may now and then happen; but they can never be so extensive as to amount to an inconvenience, or in any sensible degree to affect the order of the political system. This may be inferred with certainty, from the general nature of the judicial power, from the objects to which it relates, from the manner in which it is exercised, from its comparative weakness, and from its total incapacity to support its usurpations by force. And the inference is greatly fortified by the consideration of the important constitutional check which the power of instituting impeachments in one part of the legislative body, and of determining upon them in the other, would give to that body upon the members of the judicial department. This is alone a complete security. There never can be danger that the judges, by a series of deliberate usurpations on the authority of the legislature, would hazard the united resentment of the body intrusted with it, while this body was possessed of the means of punishing their presumption, by degrading them from their stations. While this ought to remove all apprehensions on the subject, it affords, at the same time, a cogent argument for constituting the Senate a court for the trial of impeachments.”
“Romney will simply kiss their asses.” True, but only after he has thoroughly brushed his teeth and gargled; so he will be minty fresh!
