Republican president hopeful Newt Gingrich doubled down on his criticism of federal judges and the Supreme Court on Sunday as chief rival Mitt Romney defended his record against likely Democratic attacks.
With close to two weeks before GOP voters start choosing their nominee, Gingrich is courting the conservative primary voters he will need to win in Iowa and sustain his campaign against Romney, whose superior organization and pile of cash has him seeming ever more confident as he looks ahead to the general election.
"There is steady encroachment of secularism through the courts to redefine America as a nonreligious country and the encroachment of the courts on the president's commander-in-chief powers, which is enormously dangerous," Gingrich said on CBS's Face the Nation.
Polls in Iowa and nationally show Gingrich ahead of Romney in the race for the GOP nomination. Gingrich has acknowledged that Romney's repeated attacks have taken a toll on his campaign and is looking to stay at the top.
To do that, Gingrich is focusing on ideology as he courts the Iowa conservatives he needs to win the caucuses and challenge Romney's well-organized campaign in what could become a drawn-out primary. He has mounted a broad attack on federal judges and the Supreme Court, arguing that they are legislating from the bench and have more control over the country than they should.
It's an argument that drew sustained applause during a debate last week in Sioux City, Iowa -- and one that could have particular resonance in a state where Republicans fought a protracted battle with state Supreme Court judges over gay marriage.

We’ve been complaining for years on FR that liberal activist judges are destroying our liberty and here we finally have a candidate with the balls to take them head-on. Go, Newt!!
I wish Newt well with this issue. He’s still a scarily loose cannon. Damn those Democrats, trotting out those weird women to gun Cain down with their self delusions. (I believe Cain would have agreed with Newt on this one.)
How in the he!! is Romney going to focus on 0bama when he governed the same way as him?
"I'm everything 0bama is, but vote for me because I am a Republican"?
Romney can not beat 0bama!
January 2013 will be a Happy Newt Year for patriotic Americans. Go Gingrich! Nuke the commies with a Newt-ron bomb!
“We’ve been complaining for years on FR that liberal activist judges are destroying our liberty and here we finally have a candidate with the balls to take them head-on. Go, Newt!!”
Right on Jim. Also the balls to take on the Alinsky in the oval office and call him out on it. GO NEWT!
Bachmann was on Meet the Press this morning and totally failed the judicial question.
It was hard to watch.
Newt knows the facts, the history and the Constitution and when he says that Lincoln told the Supreme Court to piss off over the Dred Scott decision {if you are snooping over here from DU, that's the one that said slavery is legal in all 57 states} he was correct and it shuts up the critics.
Who among the elite media will back the Dred Scott decision?
No more Rudy McRomney's!!
Imagine a President who can do something - WOULD do something - about activist judges besides waiting on one of the Supremes to retire. I mean really, IMAGINE IT.
Now we don’t have to. We know who that candidate might be. (and 3 months ago, I couldn’t imagine supporting him - but I do now).
Maybe a cannon is what we need.
A cannon is great. One that shoots in unpredictable directions isn’t so great.
Megyn Kelly is a TWIT!
It is true, that given the faux liberal and the genuine one, usually the vote will go to the bona fide liberal.
Absolutely great post and what Newt said was not harebrained but reasonable and sensible.
This cannon is shooting at socialism.
Hoping that when socialism surrenders, Newt won’t then promptly invite it to tea and crumpets.
You gotta remember they recently impeached judges in Iowa. Crazy like a fox...
You mean a tea party?
