What Newt says in the video of the interview is absolutely correct.

Which part? Check Mark Levin's clip on Right Scoop to see why Newt is off base on the subpoenas.

Judges can be impeached.

Prior to their impeachment, the house could subpoena a judge to appear before a congressional hearing.

If a judge refused or ignored the subpoena, the capitol police or a U.S. Marshall could be sent to force the judge to appear.

No problem from me with any of this.

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?
