Yes Newt is done... If the primaries were next week maybe not but it's over a month away, time is the enemy for Newt, as it was Cain, Perry and Mitt.

And you somehow think democrats aren't the sameway?
You know something is fishy about a piece of legislation when they have to come up with a name like Patriot Act to get it to pass.
If they called it the Abandonment of Civil Liberties act it never would have gotten out of committee
And you somehow think democrats aren't the sameway?
The fact is the PA was passed by a republican Congress and signed into law by a republican president. Conservative jurists have exhibited a propensity to rule against individual liberty in favor of state (police) authority to ‘fight crime/terror.’
It is therefore logical to infer that a republican president would appoint judges to the Federal courts and justices to the High Court who would likewise rule against individual liberty in favor of state (police) authority to ‘fight crime/terror.’

Key here. Lawmakers have to be vigilant, as do the courts as to abuses and those alledged. When the line has been crossed? That abuse must be dealt with.Little Danger of Abuse
The key to the PATRIOT Act is empowering government to do the right things while exercising oversight to prevent any abuse of authority. As long as lawmakers keep a vigilant eye on police authority, the federal courts remains open, and the debate about governmental conduct is a vibrant part of the American dialogue, the risk of excessive encroachment on our fundamental liberties is minimal.
Asked the first question on the Patriot Act, which extended counter-terrorism search and surveillance powers in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, he set the tone by sounding tough and authoritative.
"I'd look at strengthening it because I think the dangers are literally that great," Gingrich said, adding that there should be "an honest understanding that all of us will be in danger for the rest of our lives."

It has passed constitutional muster. No single provision of the PATRIOT Act has ever been found unconstitutional.

All for election purposes...BAIT and switch. The Liberals should be infuriated...but will vote for Obama again, won't they? PARTY over country every time.I think this is a somewhat unfair attack on Gingrich. It singles him out yet all Big Government advocates in both Parties support this too. He's far from being the only one. The Democrats and this current President actually promised to get rid of the Patriot Act. But as soon as they got the power they only strengthened it. Personally i have more of a problem with lying hypocrites. Gingrich has always supported the Patriot Act so i'm not surporised with this stance. He has been honest & up front about it. I disagree with his stance but at least he's being honest. Obama and the Democrats on the other hand,have been a dishonest disgrace on this issue. They had a Super Majority yet refused to get rid of the Patriot Act as promised. That is unforgivable in my opinion.
The Patriot Act was supposed to provide short term emergency powers. It is now going on ten years and going strong. Once you give up constitutional rights, it is hard to get them back
