Andrew Napolitano - Government Lawlessness

[DanH454]

@KarmicOmen - Another reason why he is respected is because he ALLOWS opposing viewpoints to be fully stated (without interruption) by the various guests that he has on his show Freedom Watch.

He RESPECTS people's opinions... even though he may partially or totally disagree. This is one of the main reasons why so many people & politicians, etc always come back on his show again and again as guests.

4 Things about the Judge:

1. FAIR

2. HONEST

3. COMPASSIONATE

4. CONSTITUTIONALIST

[sniped101]

This judge should get a movie deal with him being the mob boss.

[katnap72]

Ron Paul / Judge Andrew Napolitano 2012!

[keepaopenmind]

Judge Napolitano is a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, he's probably not going to be paid attention to, any more than the Constitution is.

[TheDestroyerCrom]

@fzqlcs: you're right about that, but why do you single out Obama? All of government has always been like that.

[fzqlcs]

@TheDestroyerCrom No argument to your general point, but the degree to which Obama has dealt dollars is what sets him apart. Both mosquitos and alligators bite, but ...

[philami1]

Congress, now and for some time to come, are not about ready to listen to the Citizenry that put them into Office. Congress now is owned by powerful forces outside of our Elected Members. As it is, now, we the Citizens are the losers.

[centurion180ad]

Illegitimate gangster government has been doing this forever, it is called Union Busting. Reagan told his regulatory officers to not prosecute antiunion activity. Corporations have been violating labor contracts regularly, with impunity with government connivance.

[13AJJONES]

GOOD INTERVEIW .

SHANX !

[BranIL28]

BINGO!

[centurion180ad]

When We The People overthrow the mass murdering Debt Syndicate and reinstitute our Republic, we’ll ELECT this man as our first Chief Justice of the Peace.

Sheila Bair: a felon.

[Crucafixxx]

Judge is a mans man not a wishy washy bum.

[philliptjr1]

I can't stand Neil Cavuto. He interrupts guests 10x worse than Alex Jones.

[NeoZomboi]

Man I love Judge Napolitano's hair.

[skatepunkzero]

Him and Ron Paul better Co-run!

[ckairnes68]

Notice that the Judge states his point as a lawful vs. unlawful not legal vs. illegal. He is a common law thinking man.

[timewilltell7]

look how masculine judge nap looks compared to that faggot type guy on the news - sry but im sick of it all

[timewilltell7]

obama is such an empty headed narcissist i cant get over his stance - when he puts his nose up and tries to act so big when he is a blown up nothing and his annoying too tall over dressed smiling wife gets on my nerves

judge nap is such a man - a dying breed

[13AJJONES]

HOW COME repubs. can admit Bush was a lying theif, but democrats wont even admit Lobamba is a race baiting, al qaeda, martr to be ? GOT TRAITORS ? yep,...lots of um.

[13AJJONES]

REPORTER ACTING LIKE THIS ISNT KNOWN TO US ALL . WE DONT TRUST THESE THIEVES !

Extortion : using the threat of the law to extort information about a crime .

aka :add threatening and beating suspects !

How often do the Movie Police get away with this Movie Gag ?

You mean the Police cant really do this kinda stuff >

[THEBLKSTANG]

multinational Corp's don't give a crap about America or Democacy......they all moved to China,a communist country that helped the vietnamese kill our soldiers.

[tubecat72]

Andrew Napolitano is my modern day Thomas Jefferson. He has incredible knowledge and nobody can get him in a rush! Napolitano/Paul 2012!

[RatkoUSA]

They take an oath to unphold the Constitution ...then they get back to the business of violating the Constitution.

[JaxxBat]

@RatkoUSA . Totally..

[rolandjrg]

Andrew Napalitano 2012 Please Save us. With your knowledge and true soul. It may not be to late.

[tubecat72072]

Paul/Napalitano 2012! Napolitano knows the Constitution inside and out. This is who should be backing Ron Paul. Ron Paul, regardless of age, spent 30+ years fighting to restore liberty.. and has earned my respect beyond my expectations. They both have my vote.

[Tailg8ers]

And the problem with that thinking fantom is we sheep count on government action to "assure" us an opportunity to achieve those jobs .... and at what expense? ...  "by ANY means necessary?" ... should we give away ALL of our liberties for the sake of a job? ... surely your future generations protest!!!

[shakaama]

I love this man to bits.

and Americans are sheeple.

[furgrayfreak]

so to speak

[furgrayfreak]

the camels nose is under the tent smelling my oompa loompa farts

[furgrayfreak]

"pretorious700" may you give me o-ral pleasure anytime

[Sondre7]

This guy is my hero

[smrkkrenz]

Andrew seems like the only man who as any sense these days and hopefully people will this man serious(Ron Paul 2012).

[lettersfromaboy]

Are you saying Paul/Napolitano for 12? Or are you saying Nader/Ventura for 12?

[furgrayfreak]

oompa loompa doopity doo

[furgrayfreak]

I wonder what its like to be on the hawaiian punch can...

[pretorious700]

I wonder what it's like to have an empty cranium

[RodCornholio]

It's called "EXTORTION UNDER COLOR OF OFFICIAL RIGHT".

I've been a victim of government extortion of this type. Unfortunately, my loyalty to the U.S. overwhelms my own sense of self worth.

It's complex and private, so I can not give any specific details. Sorry.

[ExtremeAvalanche]

It's pretty clear everyone here loves Napolitano, and he is a very smart person, but it still miffs me just how blind everyone is to the bailout. People that think we are going to be the next soviet union are simply misinformed. We still have market competition and colorful advertisements to lure customers. Obama's not taking away capitalism. He's saving the companies that couldn't save themselves in the private sector. There's a huge difference between this and a command economy.

[fzqlcs]

Obama was not elected to be a dealer of dollars, taking money from citizens to rewarding failed companies and bloated unions. He is no better than a common thief, stealing from 300 million people.

[ExtremeAvalanche]

He isn't stealing from anyone, this is just plain ignorance. If Obama steals, then our nation has always stolen. Obama's not rewarding them, what a joke. Bush gave corporations all the breaks they could handle, which is why they failed. Obama's putting the dunce hat on them and telling incompetent companies to move aside. Obama opposers need to figure out what exactly they oppose. He's been attacked for "rewarding" them, and then attacked for instituting a pay czar. Ridiculous.

[JaxxBat]

@fzqlcs ..

Thieves elected thieves ..

As the Sheeple turn..

Big gov = small people...

Only solution is a Revolution...

With all the truth hittin the airways from GB and The Judge I am surprised more folks are not waking up...

I guess public school did wonders brainwashing America's kids..

If what the gov is doing is a crime then all that knowingly profit from it are guilty as well..

[HarrisonDG]

@fzqlcs seriously. people had no idea what they were getting themselves into. all it took was a handsome face and the word "change" to completely brainwash the public.

comparing a common thief and obama is like comparing a drop of water to the whole ocean. obama is one of the biggest criminals in history

[fluff125]

Bullshit, the reason the companies are going bankrupt is because they are inefficient. The only reason they existed at all was because they were living on borrowed money supplied by the federal reserve.

They are inefficient, this means that they are combining scarce resources and squandering them. What needs to happen is for these companies to go bankrupt, and the small, efficient companies to buy up their assets and produce productively at a lower price.

This is also known as a recession

[Mennion3]

But what right does Obama or any government have to use tax dollar to save the companies that couldn't save themselves?

It's suppose to be a free market right? When companies make poor choices then they should go bankrupt. If they choose to give money for bonuses they are in their legal rights to do so.

However, what right does the government has to use tax dollar money to save these companies?

[ExtremeAvalanche]

The government has all the right, and he's not saving them as much as rehauling them. Letting everything fail isn't American, it's dumb.

These companies went broke because of their frivolous ways. The way to amend their issues isn't to sit back and watch, it's to remove their incompetencies. If economics was all about letting the market ebb and flow, then we could have chimpanzees in office. I realize the repubs think everything is macroeconomics, but this century is too complex for apathy.

[Mennion3]

I don't think a form of government has a right to save private own companies in a free market society. We both agree that these companies went broke because of their poor behavior, but can the American taxpayer afford to save every company that engage in poor behavior and who has the right to choose which company to save and which to let fail?

You're wrong, I'm not apathatic, I care about the people who work hard and play by the rules but could never move up and we never hear about them.

[ExtremeAvalanche]

I didn't mean to suggest that you're apathetic, but I believe the republicans have a tendency towards being apathetic to situations that don't concern them personally.

I don't think taxes are good, but unfortunately it's how the government covers their expenses. There's a lot of worse places that tax money goes than to helping out failing businesses.

[fantom58]

The people who "work hard and play by the rules" are precisely the reason why inefficient businesses (e.g. GM and Chrysler) were "bailed out." I'm all for letting executives, and even stockholders suffer, if a big company like GM goes under. Problem is, it's the innocent worker, who played by the rules and did nothing wrong, who suffers, and is suffereing now. Jobs are a precious resource, like clean water, or energy, and must be saved (and created) by any means necessary.

[studentofsmith]

fantom58: Jobs are a precious resource, like clean water, or energy, and must be saved (and created) by any means necessary.

---

By that logic no business which employs even one person can ever be permitted to fail.

You are only looking at the jobs that would be lost if GM or Chrysler go under. You're not considering the jobs that would be created when the capital equipment and resources currently being used by those companies go to other, more productive businesses.

[fantom58]

And you think that, thanks to the miracle of "creative destruction" new and better jobs would somehow rise from the carnage of a GM/Chrysler collapse? Like they rose somehow from the collapse of the US steel industry? Fantasy stuff.

[oceanx]

@studentofsmith Yeah, because we're seeing an even skew of jobs every time a business in this country has failed lately, right? Jobs being lost aren't being re-created in other facilities; unemployment rates are rising. "Sure 200,000 people are getting laid off because GM went under, but think of the 30,000 jobs that Ford created from taking in the business GM lost out on on!" I'm not saying bail out GM more, just touching on a particular idea you stated.

[studentofsmith]

oceanx: "Jobs being lost aren't being re-created in other facilities; unemployment rates are rising."

America is suffering net job losses right now as a result of the boom/bust economic cycle. (Which some people maintain is caused by the Federal Reserve's manipulation of interest rates.)

Preserving the jobs at GM will cost jobs elsewhere in the economy as taxpayers will have less to spend in those areas. Check out the "broken window fallacy" for a clear explanation of this idea.

[oceanx]

@studentofsmith That was actually a really good read, the "Broken Window Fallacy" that is.

[studentofsmith]

@oceanx I'm glad you found it interesting and I commend you on your willingness to critically examine unfamiliar ideas. That kind of independent thinking is a rare commodity these days.

[oceanx]

@studentofsmith I mean, it's an idea that I'm somewhat familiar with and understand, but it's a more insightful read to get a broader perspective, despite that it was a short piece. I'm always willing to hear opposing views, or read and research things I haven't done before. I think the exchange of ideas is definitely a great and rare thing people don't partake into anymore when getting into debating dialogue. Just too much blatant arguing.

[ImAGrasshopper]

Free markets work in part because poor performers are allowed to fail.

[procommenter]

The judge told the prospective jurors: "I am the expert on the law..." I asked him to explain why I was called then? "Didn't you watch the film?" He asked. (We were required to watch a state-made film presentation that explained our purpose as jurors was to determine guilt.)

[KarmicOmen]

Have you noticed that Judge Andrew Napolitano is never (and surprisingly) personally or professionally attacked?

Judge Andrew Napolitano is a man of great wisdom, intelligence, and indisputable integrity.

[JaxxBat]

@KarmicOmen . Also awesomely armed with knowledge and truth ..

[skatepunkzero]

@KarmicOmen and being Italian from Jersey helps too

[Auggie56]

We ain't seen nothing yet.

[whoo689]

Andrew Napolitano is a rare gem these days, a judge that actually respects people's rights and upholds the law, esp. the Constitution. Have you read any of his books? Sadly, I've only read Constitutional Chaos so far, but it's pretty damn informative.

If idiots like Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity wanna get on their phony soapbox and claim "No one's rights have been abused" by things like the Patriot Act, they gotta talk to the judge.

[fzqlcs]

You aint wrong. You ever notice how politicians always use (or create) a crisis to do things citizens would NEVER do otherwise. Bush (and Congress) used 9/11 paranoia to through big government expansions, as Obama uses the govt-induced economic crisis, the "healthcare crisis" and the "global warming crisis."

By the way, I have read some of your past posts on LP videos and you are a friend of liberty and therefore, my ally as well. I will drink to your health tonight. LP rocks.

[BRYAN351]

whoo689, I agree that Bill O'Reilly is all wrong about the Patriot Act, but in fairness to him, he's had the Judge on his show many times.
