Newt Gingrich’s Assault On ‘Activist Judges’ Draws Criticism, Even From Right


Never one to be accused of timidity, Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich is turning up the volume of his ongoing assault on “activist judges” so high that even conservatives say he is going too far.
In a half-hour phone call with reporters Saturday, Gingrich said that, as president, he would abolish whole courts to be rid of judges whose decisions he feels are out of step with the country.

We all know that "activist judges" is only code for "they didn't rule the way I wanted". I would love for any of these clowns to show where one of these so-called "activist judges" has broken the law by rendering their verdict.

Gingrich doesn't want to be president just wants to increase his speaking fees. Figures he will go on TV make some off the wall comments to insure he doesn't accidentally win.

You appearantly don't know what an activist judge is.
It's not about them ruling in a way that I disagree.
It's about them creating law in their ruling because they have a political agenda.
They should be hauled before congress to explain their decisions.

Like when the supreme court gave Bush the presidency and wrecked the whole country?
