(UPDATE) Newt has imploded like a terrorist nuke; ground zero is in Iowa.
I knew this would happen. Newt is sinking quickly as he keeps talking. He’s not the reasonable man in the room, he’s the nut case who wants to tell you his pet science fiction fantasies of absolute power. They might even be entertaining as pulp, but at this point Republicans must be realizing that there’s something L. Ron Hubbard-like about the man.
Gingrich indicated that it was in the president’s power as commander-in-chief to deem any Supreme Court ruling irrelevant if he or she in the White House disagreed.
[...]
Gingrich also backed his position to subpoena judges or abolish courts entirely if he thought their final rulings were wrong.
The current GOP frontrunner’s position challenges the landmark Supreme Court case of Marbury v Madison in 1803, where America’s highest court would be granted the final word on whether acts by the president or Congress are constitutional.
Uncomfortable memories of his past peccadilloes and performance have bubbled up into the consciousness of Republican voters. Meanwhile, Gingrich doubled down yesterday, saying he wants to arrest judges who make disagreeable decisions. No wonder rank-and-file Republicans are remembering Newt is crazy — he can’t help but keep reminding them.
For those of you wondering at home, Newt is what “worse than Bush” actually looks like.
