As far as Obama-I think he is sending a message to his judges by taking on the conservative justices (get it)

Newt was not referring to what Obama is implying. Obama is already meddling (for an outcome) with the court. I think Obama will do whatever it takes to set our nation to a government nanny state and he has some justices who agree with the nanny state vision.

Well, its quite clear that the Supreme Court has certain limits on its powers, while Congress has the Constitutional authority to regulate what the SC[and inferior courts] judge and rule on.
