That is Newt for ya. He simply can't discipline himself and can't help himself. He absolutely LOVES going out on these limbs with these extreme points that are outside the box. He thinks this will show everyone how smart he is. He is more interested in dazzling people than becoming elected President.

What you call "the box" is killing us.
It is not extreme in the least to say that all three branches have a co-equal power, within their proper sphere, to interpret the Constitution.

You prefer Socialism?
Newt is a dumb person’s idea of what a smart person sounds like.
