Gingrich's plan for America

Perspective people. These are campaign promises, they don't mean shit to the candidates, why should they to you?

Say Newt, through some alien mind control or something, got elected President. The wackos say, Newt, you promised x, y & z! To which Newt responds, I wanted to but the others here in DC won't let me... now if you'll excuse me...

Promising to complete the process of destroying checks and balances seems a bit extreme even to appeal to the Volkgeist spirit of the base. Not much has changed from Bush to Obama in terms of Constitutional power usurpation. Consolidation of power in the Executive continues unhindered. Newt's promise is eminently doable because the Supremes have no enforcement power.
