Constitution’s there for a reason. Call me a traitor, but I think the first obligation of the president is to uphold the constitution.

I think Newt’s plan is the worst thing that could happen. Better to do nothing than to tear down what has been built.

The constitutional way is to appoint justices who will uphold the constitution in their rulings. If the republicans had done that instead of nominating Souter and O’Connor, it would be a much different picture today.

Refusing to acquiese to court decisions which betray the Constitution is upholding the Constitution.

The Constitution did not call for or provide for ACTIVIST judges. You do know the difference, don't you?

15 Federal Judges have been impeached since 1789.

Newt would simply refuse to enforce unconstitutional judicial fiats.

It would be up to the legislative branch to impeach him, or the judge who overstepped their bounds.

It’s nothing new.

I believe Newt is right on this one. Part of his oath to support the Constitution would be to discipline any judge who issued a decision which was unconstitutional on its face. They are not legislators.....and shouldn't act like they are.
