Newt Gingrich struck a responsive cord with his words of warning for activist judges.
As reported at the Reference, Newt tossed a bit of red meat our way in going after the black robed clowns who routinely overturn the will of the people and their elected officials and whom replace traditional American values with left-wing idiocy:
“As he works to rev up his conservative base in Iowa with just two weeks to go until the state's caucuses, Newt Gingrich is launching a full-throated assault on a reliable GOP target: judges.
There is little love for the judicial branch among the Republicans seeking the White House. But Gingrich's ridicule has been, by far, the sharpest and the loudest. And it's taken a central role as his campaign struggles to stay atop polls in Iowa, a state where irate social conservatives ousted three judges who legalized same-sex marriage.
"I commend the people of Iowa for sending a strong signal that when judges overreach that they can find a new job," Gingrich told about 200 supporters who turned out to hear him speak in Davenport, Iowa, on Monday.
Gingrich has suggested that judges who issue what he termed "radical" rulings out of step with mainstream American values should be subpoenaed before Congress to explain themselves before facing possible impeachment. As president, he said, he'd consider dispatching U.S. marshals to round up judges who refuse to show voluntarily. In extreme cases, whole courts could be eliminated.”
While Newt seemingly pushes all the right hot buttons on this issue, one must ask the following question:
Would Newt’s action establish precedent for Marxists like Barack Obama to act? Would Obama be within his rights, for instance, to round up dissenting associates in the event the U.S. Supreme Court rules against ObamaCare?
How can we accomplish the good that Newt proposes without opening Pandora’s Box to a rush of wild-eyed Marxists who could care less about individual rights and preservation of the U.S. Constitution?
Just asking.
