Gingrich: Iowa ruling ‘judicial arrogance’

(Athens, Georgia) Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says that a recent Iowa Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage is “outrageously wrong.”

Gingrich spoke Tuesday at the University of Georgia’s law school, where he’s been teaching a series on the judicial system.

Gingrich says that he was astonished by last Friday’s decision in the heartland state, and predicts a major battle over judicial power. He says the decision demonstrated “judicial arrogance.”

Gingrich is mentioned as a possible Republican presidential contender in 2012. He said Tuesday that any decision on a run was a year away. In the meantime, he’s been keeping a high profile advising Republicans on Capitol Hill.

1. I don't think people without genitalia should be commenting on the Iowa decision.

2. Gingrich teaching "a series on

the judicial system" is sort of like Charlie Manson teaching a series on home economics ..................

3. This happens every time someone leaves the damn lid up

Newt pops out of the sewer pipe everytime.

4. And I suppose the Vermont vote is

"legislative arroagnce".

What will take to get rid of Newt once and for all? And, the last election cycle was long enough - could they at least wait until after the midterms before we start the 2012 race?

5. Jeez, that must be an easy course. Because Gingroid...

... like most right-wingnuts... apparently doesn't even know what the judicial branch is for.

Seriously, do right-wingers know ANYTHING about America, its founding, its system of government?

:shrug:

6. The judges---two of whom are REPUBLICANS...

...followed the letter of the law.

The Equal Protection Clause means that ALL laws must be applied equally--to EVERYONE.

Even I understand that, but Mr. history scholar himself doesn't.

Geez, these neocon, Fundie nutjobs will talk gibberish and smack down the Constitution--if it will snag them
a few votes from the freak weasels.

Makes me ill.

If you disagree with the vote on principal...fine. You're entitled to your ignorance. But let's not
pretend that these judges were not following the letter of the law.

BECAUSE ALL OF THEM WERE FOLLOWING THE LETTER OF THE LAW, AND THEY VOTED UNANIMOUSLY. Sheesh!

7. It's America, Newt. Equality is patriotic.

Love it or leave it. :evilgrin:

8. Neut, your 15 minutes of fame are SO OVER!

9. Like Bush v Gore?

10. Gingrich: Supreme Court decision in Brown v Topeka Board of Education ruling Judicial Arrogance

If this were the 1950's that would be the headline

11. sibling rivalry

Newt is just mad because people are recognizing Candace is right and he's a fucking moron.

[RetiredTrotskyite]

13. This Seems to Be SOP...

for the wingnuts. Every time a ruling is against their point of view, it's called "judicial arrogance", or in the case of a law, "legislative arrogrance". These guys are morons.
