“...Do you want congress to send Capital police to arrest Supreme Court Justices they disagree with?...”
-
What you say is NOT what the interview is saying.
Newt simply states that:
IF congress were to subpoena a judge to appear before a congressional hearing;
AND that judge were to ignore the subpoena or refuse to appear;
THEN congress could send the capital police or a U.S. Marshall
to compel the judge to obey the subpoena.

Do you believe judges are above the law and not subject to subpoenas?

Well for instance let's look at congress.

Do not insider trading laws apply to them? The answer is No. It only applies to us we the Sheeple?

So does the Legislative Branch has more power than the Judaical branch? The Answer is no. It's called Checks and Balances.

Yes they can request anything they want, but the Judicial Branch does not have to respond. Show me the law where it says the Executive Branch has to bend over and grab their ankles anytime the Legislative branch demands it?
