No, Noot.

The whole idea is to make the federal government conform to the rule of law

The way you do that is to appoint conservatives to the court..

That's what your job would be.

Your job would not be to create a constitutional crisis.

Only Democrat presidents can win those.

Dumbkopf.

No, Marlowe is right. Even if the Congress will not remove a court entirely, it’s only reproach of the president will be impeachment. For that to happen the Senate must have a super-majority, iirc. That means the Dems would have to control both the House and have a super-m in the Senate...67 votes(?).

In any case, the Republicans would have to lose huge in the House and Senate PLUS have a presidential win for that to become an issue. IOW, it won’t happen.

Therefore, Gingrich would be free NOT to enforce anything any court says that is oligarchical.

Yeah right, like we have all the time in the world to change all the malefactors that have made it onto our courts. If Newt managed to be president for two terms, the effect he might have following your prescription would be miniscule.
I think that following our Constitution, there is a way to remove for cause, judges who act outside the bounds of that document and that is what Newt is proposing!

Dumbkopf!
