Sic Semper Tyrannis

Imagine that… Newtie’s a spoiled brat who throws a complete temper tantrum when he doesn’t get what he wants.

Will of the people, my ass. Will of memememe.

Wikipedia (because I’m too lazy to excerpt Article III): “Article III requires the establishment of a Supreme Court and permits the Congress to create other federal courts, and place limitations on their jurisdiction. In theory, Congress could eliminate the entire federal judiciary except for the Supreme Court, although the 1st Congress established a system of lower federal courts through the Judiciary Act of 1789.” (emphasis added)

Gingrich is a fucking idiot.

@blogenfreude: Well, as you know, Article III doesn’t say that the Supreme Court can rule on the constitutionality of federal legislation. Newtie could pack the court with wingnuts who will overrule Marbury v. Madison and then spend their time on border disputes between the States.

If Newt were were elected President he wouldn’t have much use for Congress either.

See, that image above is an example of how design supports (or, in this case, undermines) messaging. The color palate and typeface choice scream “Christmas Card” to me.

According to Wapo, Newtie also wants U.S. Marshalls to drag Federal Judges before Congress to explain their heretical decisions. I can see it now:

“This week on Justified, Deputy Marshall Raylan Givens puts two Supreme Court Justices in leg irons to force them testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on their opinions upholding the individual mandate in Obamacare.”

Viewers could then vote on whether the decisions were “justified” or “unjustified” – sort of like Judging with the Stars.

Newt sounds like he’d be a great member of Fidesz – more info on where the GOP train finally leads, courtesy of Hungary:
