Twice, this guy mentions McCarthy.

Is that the new meme?

[TheWriterTX]

Of course. Alinksy in action...

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Gets me excited....

[onyx]

LOL. This guy wants Rush’s attention before he leaves for Christmas vacation.....!

GO GINGRICH.

[Crazy ole coot]

If I remember my schooling concerning the Constitution (Long long ago) Federal judges (even SC judges) can be impeached.
Also, the Supreme Court is NOT the final say on what the law says. There are three branches and if the President and Congress disagree with the Supreme Court, the court loses!!

[goodnesswins]

Well...geee...some of the “Courts” have had a WAR on the Constitution and America. ‘bout time we fought back.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Exactly!

[Jim from C-Town]

Leave it to a lawyer to get the Constitution Wrong. The Judicial Branch has been in over reach for over a century. The Congress and The President can exert their authority over the Judicial Branch BECAUSE they are the direct representatives of the people and the collective states. They are the weakest branch of the three and where supposed to be the least influential to the public, BECAUSE they serve for life.

Due to the massive over reach a good Constitutional Schooling is due the Judiciary and that means a smack down from the Legislature and the Executive branches taking back their respective authority to make law and eliminate and remove judges who act contrary to the Constitution that they swear to uphold. They have every authority to remove and eliminate judges both individualy and collectively by changing the courts and or adding or eliminating entire districts. The Courts where set up by the Legislature and signed into law by the Execiutive. They are not suposed to be an oligarchy but they believe that they are.

Well, the executive and legislative branches nominate and approve everyone on the supreme court, so I don’t know how they suddenly become some rogue agent.

[DustyMoment]

While I may not agree 100% with ALL of Newt’s ideas, it is past time that someone took on our corrupted, perverted, nonfunctioning court system.

The left has used the courts for decades to pervert the law AND the will of the people.

There needs to be some accounting for the poor decisions that have come out of too many of our courts. Perhaps Newt is really on the right track, here.

I am heavily offended by this tripe!

I have listened to rush every single day, for every hour is show has been broadcast. Ever since he was still broadcasting in Sacramento I have listened to him, minus a vacation now and then, or when I was too sick to stay awake to hear anything. So when I read this quote from the article,

..............what Rush is – first and foremost – is a showman and a businessman who knows that controversy is good, attracts more listeners and gets people talking about him.

I could only come up with one conclusion, neither Mr Shaw nor Ed Morrissey, have ever listened to Rush for more than a few episodes after the MSM has brought his name up. That being said I just lost a TON of respect for these two writers at HotAir. From hence forth I will never ever read another article written by them, because they are not conservatives, they are RINOS at best like George Will.

No true conservative would consider Rush just another showman who is looking to just get ratings, and awareness by being controversial. True conservatives will always get attention by just being truthful. Something Liberals and Rinos, like Mr Shaw and Morrisey would never understand, because they always put their fingers in the air to see which way the wind is blowing before commenting on a subject.

subpoenaing judges is neither legal nor workable.

Says who. Congress subpoenas executive branch officials all the time. Why should the judiciary be any different?

[bgill]

Perhaps Newt is really on the right track, here.

Or perhaps Newt is really on the campaign trail. Who knows. Right now, I'm not in the mood to believe anything any of them are saying.

[vbmoneyspender]

So does this mean that, deep down, Limbaugh is a racist or whatever? The answer is probably no . . . .

Deep down, is the author an idiot? The answer is probably yes.

So does this mean that, deep down, Limbaugh is a racist or whatever? The answer is probably no, because what Rush is – first and foremost – is a showman and a businessman who knows that controversy is good, attracts more listeners and gets people talking about him.

I agree with you that this line about Rush is absolutely BS. I do think the problem here is in the interpretation of Ed Morrissey's quite true remarks on Rush's well known "Media Tweaks of the Day" by this absolutely stupid idiot Jazz Shaw. He even says Rush is "Probably not a racist". Is this guy for real? I hope this dim bulb writer retracts and apologizes or better yet see Levin and Rush hammer this guy into oblivion on air for having no better understanding of Rush than your average Lamestream reporter. From reading this twice, I get the impression he is really a Leftist hack.

[Marine_Uncle]

Newton has my vote if it comes down to him being the final candidate to run against the communist fraud.

[TigersEye]

You are very generous in your judgment of the author’s character. I could even get to the part about Rush Limbaugh before I was retching over the lib-bias and lies. I gave it the best benefit of the doubt that I could and came up with the firm conclusion that the author is a Marxist hack propagandist who at heart despises our Constitution.

[Jim from C-Town]

The Legislature allowed them to act out because for most of the last century it was in the best interest of the party in power (Democrats) for the Judiciary to push and approve leftist extra and unconstitutional agendas. They became used to being the super legislature.
