Reading Newt Gingrich’s latest book in preparation for his JLF Headliner appearance in Charlotte, I enjoyed his description of judicial activism:
Over the last fifty years the Supreme Court has become a permanent constitutional convention in which the whims of five appointed lawyers have rewritten the meaning of the Constitution.
Gingrich contrasts that development with the slow, deliberate process the Founders established for changing the Constitution.
The former U.S. House Speaker outlines as one of his goals “bringing the courts back under the Constitution.”
