Who spoke about “selling” out conservative principles? This a straw man’s argument. You don’t say things that will come to haunt you in the general. It’s called prudence and discipline. What next? We hang all the Islamic convicts in the public square?

You really should rethink your approach here. You are sounding like a hard-core liberal.

Newt is not saying we should hang Islamic convicts in the public square. Just that SCOTUS should butt out of the domain of the Executive in cases properly designated to be military tribunals.

You simply don’t seem to be getting the point. We all know that the judiciary has gotten out of hand. But the way you do this is to impeach judges and appoint the Justice Thomas types. You don’t throw out explosive rhetoric that will detonate in your face come the general election. It’s all about winning, not satisfying one’s basic (base?) instinct. Obama did the same. He never wore his Alinsky credentials on his sleeves. Why is this so impossible for intelligent people to realize? Or have we downgraded the IQ among some of our FReepers?
