Now That Habeus Corpus is Dead, What’s Next?

According to Newt Gingrich, the First Amendment protecting my freedom of speech (and yours) needs to go.

The most ironic part of this is that he was giving a speech at a banquet to honor people who stood up for freedom of speech.

And yes, of course, the excuse is that tired old pony, Terrorism!

Gingrich, speaking at a Manchester awards banquet, said a “different set of rules” may be needed to reduce terrorists’ ability to use the Internet and free speech to recruit and get out their message.

Also tucked in there are these little gems:

Gingrich said he will not decide whether he is running for President until September 2007.

He also said court rulings over separation of church and state have hurt citizens’ ability to express themselves and their faith.

Does he really think he has a shot at being the President?

Make the bad man go away Mommy!
