NEWT: Obama DOMA actions the same as if President Palin announced Roe v. Wade was unconstitutional

Newt Gingrich Discusses Potential Obama Impeachment (VIDEO)



On Wednesday, Attorney General Eric Holder said Obama had determined that his administration would no longer defend a law defining marriage as only between a man and a woman, but that it would continue to be enforced pending an actual legislative overturn.

"He swore an oath on the Bible to become president that he would uphold the Constitution and enforce the laws of the United States," Gingrich said. "He is not a one-person Supreme Court. The idea that we now have the rule of Obama instead of the rule of law should frighten everybody."

While Obama was sheltered by the left, which "likes the policy," Gingrich claimed, he proposed another situation that he suggested would have caused much more clamor.

"Imagine that Governor Palin had become president," Gingrich said. "Imagine that she had announced that Roe versus Wade in her view was unconstitutional and therefore the United States government would no longer protect anyone's right to have an abortion because she personally had decided it should be changed. The news media would have gone crazy. The New York Times would have demanded her impeachment."

SCOTUS defines corporate personhood WITHOUT any act of Congress.

So much for judicial activism being ONLY for the left.

4. he KNOWS he's lying

smug hypocrite

7. He's counting on the RW followers to be too stupid to notice the lie.

[JoePhilly]

5. Newt is sure that the average right wing listener is too stupid to

understand what actually happened.

The DOJ is still enforcing the law, but they will no longer defend that law against legal challenges the are made against it.

He wants the stupid right wing followers to think that Obama has struck down a law, which of course he has not done.

Fox News has had a number of its paid liars making a similar claim, clearly confident that the average Fox viewer is too stupid to know the difference.
