In this case, however, the Court would be going against the public will if they were to declare Obamacare constitutional. Obama is flat out wrong to say that if they rule it unconstitutional thy are going against the will of the people. Just the opposite...

Sorry... Newt was talking about progressive incrementalism through left wing judicial activism... you know... not following the Constitution and what is written in it or reading the Federalist Papers for guidance in original intent. What Newt was talking about was prostituting the document to twist and bend what it says to fit a GODless conclusion... like the (NON) right to abortion and a mythical right to privacy... neither of which exists... or ignoring things like the 10th and 14th Amendments! obamao is talking about fdr styled communist subversion through legislating from the bench... and YOU should understand this and also know the differences.

Gingrich was speaking in favor of holding justices accountable to the Constitution, Obama wants them to ignore it in favor of Congress’ whim (but only when he agrees with Congress — the DoJ is in lower courts right now arguing to have Bush-era laws overturned, you know).

Two completely different viewpoints, and yet the same to the author. This is a conclusion in search of an argument. I can only suppose the author has some bone to pick with Gingrich and is looking for an excuse to tie him to Obama.

Since the New Deal of the 1930s, however, the power of the American judiciary has increased exponentially at the expense of elected representatives of the people in the other two branches.

The judiciary has acted on the premise of “judicial supremacy,” where courts not only review and apply laws, but also actively seek to modify and create new constitutional law from the bench that the Supreme Court has asserted should be binding on the other two branches.

Your @About RLTV says much about you.

Your article, Mr. Editor, really sucks.

You got your hit from me. You won't get another.

Ya want know what is really wrong, friggn tool NE so called republican Santorum endorsing Romney, Christie Todd Whitman and Specter. But the worsted is whoring to the unions to get votes. He could care less about freedom and liberty.

Of course, the difference is calling judges to account for violating the constitution, versus attacking judges for following the constitution.

It only sounds similar if you’re not paying attention.

I don’t agree with Newt here, Cooper vs Aaron simply said that states could not ignore Court decisions when AR decided they didn’t want to desegregate because there was too much public opposition. It was against mob rule. Obama wants mob rule so he basically agrees with Newt.
