Gingrich proposes a system wherein “it’s always two out of three.”
What is your understanding of the Judicial Branch when it comes to making laws? Are they not SUPPOSED TO BE the three in the two out of three?

The Supreme Court is supposed to negate laws just as a president may veto laws. The Supreme Court is not supposed to create laws.
In the absence of law there is liberty.

No. They're there to effectively veto anything coming out of congress or the executive branch that runs contrary to the Constitution. The real answer of course is to appoint better judges. SCOTUS is the final bulwark against things like dictatorship. Newt wants to do away with that safeguard? The man is an accident waiting to happen.
