Newt, you know history?
I am constantly amazed by the Tea Party and its ability to have facts say what they want rather than what it really means, but now history is getting the Tea Party treatment thanks to Newt? The federal courts,with the Supreme Court being the final arbiter, aren't the decision-makers on which laws are within the Constitution and which ones aren't, and therefore are illegal? Isn't that their role in the government, Newt? Didn't Marbury vs. Madison in 1803 decide that was its job? Wasn't Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation written so that it effected none of the slaves in the states that were part of the union? Wasn't this done just so that the proclamation wouldn't go against the Dred Scott decision? That Supreme Court decision was never changed, and slavery was still allowed until the Constitution was changed, and therefore vacating the decision? It took me less than 5 minutes to look up these 2 cases and find these facts. Newt, how long did you study history, and are you sure you know history?
