Gingrich Jumps the Shark

What won’t this man say for  a vote?  Since when do Presidents get to arrest judges that disagree with them?  Where did this guy get his history degree?

Right wing attacks on the judiciary are a campaign staple but this takes it a new level.You would think something in this “historian’s” education would have shown him that there are the co-equal branches of government.

Continuing his crusade on the judicial system, GOP presidential frontrunner Newt Gingrich said Sunday morning that he wouldn’t mind arresting any judge who he disagreed with.

When asked by CBS’ Face The Nation host Bob Schieffer him if he would “send capital police down” to make any arrest, Gingrich specified further his comments from Saturday.

“Sure, if you had to,” he said. “Or you’d instruct the Justice Department to send a U.S. Marshal.”

Gingrich called the judicial branch of the U.S. government “the weakest branch of the three.”

Damn!  How much of the constitution are you willing to sell out just to pander to the angry, ignorant base?
