"not having a handful of judges arbitrarily impose their will."

Only, of course, it the referendum supports gay marriage.

Newt is pandering here. He knows damn well where this will lead and should have the backbone to expose this charade.

Oh well, he needs votes to get back in the game and Wash. is a liberal state so............

"Newt is pandering here.

Even if Newt's not your choice for the nominee, he remarkable in how refreshingly NOT a panderer he is.

For example:
