He named three bold moves he would take:

Abolish the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals,

Can't happen

make English the official U.S. language,

Won't happen

and praise US Airways, in the form of a congressional resolution, for its tough stand against six Muslim imams who behaved like terrorists on a recent flight.M

McCain, Specter and Miss Graham will vote against it.

If Newt would stick to those ideas and can overcome his negatives...(and tone down the foot-in-mouth syndrome a bit) he could run in '08 and I'd support him.

Because McCain won't do it is exactly why Gingrich is suggesting it. He has a list of things that he has polling data on that suggest 80%+ public support that McCain won't do. English as an official language, a border wall, showing ID's to vote are all on the list.

It gives him things to run on.

Maybe not abolished but I'll bet you its jurisdiction could be shrunk down to the size of a damn postage stamp on Alcatraz Island....

I think his point was, try, and make a stink about it.
We can't just sit around talking about what can't happen. There's very little that can happen, that's good, until we're back in power. But we need to fight.
