Newt said a judge can be impeached, but before they do, they might like to have him appear before Congress to explain himself, so they could supoena him. IF HE DID NOT SHOW UP, Newt said they could send the capitol police or marshall to force him to honor the supoena.

That's exactly what Newt said and he was correct. The headline intentionally implied something totally different - That Newt wanted to have Judges arrested for making ruling that Newt was not in favor of. Typical media spin to make Newt look Zany.

If you are going to impeach a judge (which congress can do), then you are going to have impeachment hearings. In the process of those hearings, the Judge in question is going to be asked to come testify. If necessary congress might need to subpoena the Judge etc..

There was nothing extraordinary about Newt's statement. The only thing "extraordinary" might be the media's ignorance.

Well now, that is a lot different then just sending police to take out a judge because he was abusive.

Newt loves this country, has studied it intensely and he’s ready to take it back of long years of ignoring our foundation. No other conservative candidate has done that. Nothing against them but they don’t have what it takes, it’s as simple as that. Each one should bow out, IMO. IF they are truly conservative, it should be about our country first, not them.

Who could say he’s not conservative with a straight face? LOL! He’s the most conservative - he’s aware what can be done and should be done more than any conservative does and wants to get our country on the ‘right’ track. It certainly will upset the rino elite country club and their liberal counterparts.

He's right, and the MSM and establishment GOP are going to hate him for it. I'm appreciating Gingrich more all the time.

I knew enough to know the headline was misleading.

some of the environmental rulings that seize property rights from homeowners, prevent building on owned sites, interfer with water rights are so extreme and unconstitutional...who is protecting the American citizens from judicial dictatorship? we do have a balance of powers and their job is to interpet the law NOT write it via their rulings.

If such a large percentage of FReepers are too lazy, or ignorant, or just plain stupid, to understand this, then I hate to think what the general masses of civics-challenged voters will make of it. Just wait until it is "explained" to them by Mahr, Matthews, Stewart, The Spew "ladies", et. al., let alone the network "news" shows.
