Yes, I sent a flare out to get answers and got remarks instead. What liberal will ever admit to being a dummy? What liberal will ever read an article?

The judicial branch is doing considerably more than "overturning Executive & Congressional decisions that violate the Constitution", they're creating law from the bench. They are reading things into the Constitution that were never there. The Supreme Court determines
that which is implied. It's that kind of reasoning which has allowed the judiciary branch to usurp powers that belong to the Legislative branch.

As to the Baker-Hamilton Commission ... this is just a cheap trick our elected representatives use to avoid doing the job they were elected to
do. And sometimes the job is to make a difficult decision. These grey beards are expected to provide cover, yet they are the same people who participated in decisions that led to the dots that were never connected prior to 9/11.
Hey Bob h. You're an ***. I still prefer the company of elephants.

Gingrich isn't dumb, and you know that, based upon the article you linked. The Baker Hamilton Commission is meant to provide an assessment of our war in Iraq. It is a sham. The committee will pander to the Democrats since they won the election. Our future is at stake and Newt Gingrich truthfully lays out the direction we need to go, if we want to survive and win our war with the Islamics. They want to murder us. It's a great article, and I'm glad you brought it to our attention, a little incendiary though. So many people don't understand. People are dying for us to live.

Nice mudslinging there, lady. If you had read the article & understood it, you would know it is horse hockey. Newt wrote it so I guess he is an idiot. excuse me. Dummy
The Continental Congress & the individual colonies made all decisions, including financial, for the country. Washington's army had not been supplied for months because everyone refused to release the funds. The capital, Philadelphia, was in British Hands. Less than a day's march away was Valley Forge, Washington's troops were freezing & starving to death. Not far away in another direction was York, where Congress convened, fed & warm. Security about the actual conditions was tight. If the British had learned of it, they would have won the war in 2 days. You had best be very thankful that a self appointed commission traveled to the camp, documented the appalling conditions, & reported back to Congress. There would be no US today if they had not.
The Constitution, written later, established the 3 branches of Government to serve as a check & balance over each other. The Executive branch was given much administrative power due to examples like the one above.
Today the Judicial branch is busy overturning Executive & Congressional decisions that violate the Constitution. And Congress is finally establishing a commission to look into the direction of the war. This is exactly the way it is supposed to work & has very well for over 200 years. That is what the Baker-Hamilton thing is about.
Hey folks. Think we taught this neocon brat a thing or 2 about reading & thinking? Now it is time to tell you to do your homework before opening your mouth to whine & abuse other members using this site. I am surprised you weren't reported & the Q pulled. I'm glad it wasn't. You deserved this payback.

you bring an interesting point. I see alot of conservative give sites and explanations and yet to see any dem show where they get their info and how they form their opinion. I find that quite fascinating. The couple I have seen usually support the exact opposite they are trying to prove.
see this one for example.

I'd hate my parents if they named me Newt.
Same as if they named me Apple like that one singer's daughter.
