Judge Andrew Napolitano- BAILOUT Flip Flop Unconstitutional!

[PatHenry4RonPaul]

Cause the header at the top of the video to only stay for a 30 seconds. It's annoying. Ron Paul President Judge Andrew Napolitano Vice President 2012

[melskilove]

they must have showed this at 1am in the morning lol

[enduro0276]

Thanks Judge for standing up for America and the Constitution.

[cyberguy076]

Wow! That was on fox ?

[David12King]

@cyberguy076 Judge Napolitano is a great man. Hoping he and Ron Paul are on the presidential ballot in 2012!

[DD826]

At the very least, all members of Congress should be audited immediately for every year they have been in office. They should be punished just like they punish every other citizen.

Did you know that the latest tax cheats caught in Congress, paid NO PENALTIES? THEY WERE EXCUSED FROM ALL PENALTIES. DO YOU THINK ANY OF US, WOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN THAT BENEFIT?

[AscensionSeries]

Firing is not enough, seize their assets and reverse there paychecks when making illegal decisions with your money. Then monitor them for 30 years to see if there is any secret payoff.

[DD826]

All I know is, the sky is falling on this country and the media, Congress and Obama are all telling us to relax, they are coming to the rescue.

This country has been taken over by the elites and the constitutional is being ignored. I guess, this is why, WE had to Pledge Alligence to the Constitution, not our leaders. We swore to protect the constitution against all enemies, foreigh and DOMESTIC!

[chop98]

This is true. I guess the reason we have so many foreign threats is quite simply that we have our worst threats domesticated.

[informationauth]

Paulson should be arrested now.

An arrest would bring confidence back. Washington is corrupt. They dont even give a damn. They break their own fucken laws. Even paulson didnt even follow through with the rules of the bailout set by congress.

[DD826]

informationauth,

It is not Paulson.  He is just a worker bee. You have to follow the money. Who gave it out and who got it.

[DD826]

Two years ago the Democrats realized they needed a bad economy in order to seize power. They and Obama kept preaching"the sky is falling"on the economy, but the numbers didn't show it and the people didn't believe it. They kicked it up with the "r" word, recession. The numbers still didn't show it. But,the dems kept going, because cosumer confidence is 85% or the economy. And it worked, the economy took a crap. The Dems. took power and they get 2 trillion dollars in bailouts,for their programs.

[PeTroL420]

DD826, don't YOU realize that the powers that be want a split down the middle? There is no difference between Democrats and Republicans because in the end, the powers that be get whatever they want and Democrats or Republicans can't stop it. Take Barack for example, his polices are practically the same as Bush's. Most of the people he appointed were the same ones Bush had. Barack talks about change but there isn't going to be any change to the status quo.

[runebeo]

I the government is putting this much money in to these companies I think the government should take full or part ownership of these companies. They use to make money and they will again and any profit should be government money with a percent payed back to each tax payer for their investment. How strong would a government owned automobile company with the combined resources of the big three in a decade? Somethings will have to change or things like this will happen again in the near future.

[coreyk123]

You don't want the governemtn to own private companies, they already own are banks. Its socialisim!

[DEATH666COW]

yeah, all these banks get bailouts I can't even get a student loan to finish college!!!!!

[unosegundo]

Thomas Jefferson forewarned us...

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

[radstorm]

How comes all the smart judges and lawyers are just on TV, or in the movies?

[AndrewAndDan]

my mom

[lachance88]

Read his book "A Nation of Sheep" it's an excellent read about what our government has done to us over the course of recent history that is completely unconsitutional. It'll piss you off.

[kevbodian]

fox news? why not ask a 5 year old about it?

[dave777blaster]

Already 5 trillion has been spent of bailouts

General Motors plans to invest $1 billion in Brazil to avoid the kind of problems the U.S. automaker is facing in its home market, said the beleaguered car maker.

According to the president of GM Brazil-Mercosur, Jaime Ardila, the funding will come from the package of financial aid that the manufacturer will receive from the U.S. government and will be used to "complete the renovation of the line of products up to 2012."

[TABOOVSKNOWLEDGE]

Fuck Fox News

[shortyfb23]

I Have Never heard of this dude but hes educated and on fox news! howd that happen?

[r3dredwine]

Just type "JBS end fed contact congress" into google and click the top link, Send a pre wrtten letter to congress about abolishing the Federal Reserve!

Send To Congress Share With Everyone

[batgirl791]

this whole "crisis" was orchestrasted. There is no way for our country to pay off the national debt, so they are going to inject A LOT of money into the economy, so the value of the dollar drops like a stone. Then they will be able to pay the debts with inflated dollars. It's the only way for them to get a handle on it. they will pass a health plan so we will think that's the reason for our economic collapse.

[jbo5112]

You seem to be under the impression that the government is in charge of our country. It was probably orchestrated to drop the value of businesses so that bankers and big businesses can buy them up, government can expand, and a tighter yoke of slavery can be placed on the necks of Americans.

BTW, it's too late to say going to inject. It has already been over $4 trillion.

[batgirl791]

I know what you're saying. I've been saying our representatives are ignorant or complicit in this "takeover" by the money masters. I've told them to read "America's Great Depression" by murray rothbard and "Creature from Jeckyll Island" by g edward griffin. They have the knowledge, now, so I believe they are COMPLICIT in all of this legislation that will destroy our country, bring anarchy so they can take everything over, and create a fascist nwo. you and I are on the same page.

[jbo5112]

Another plot is to create a global currency. I'm not expecting it to happen very quickly, but that's the direction we're headed. There are some scary quotes from founding fathers about people having the ability to control the money supply.

[mindprism]

"Yea, that durn rapist should be ashamed! Tsk-tsk!"

[phillipmontag]

Assassinate the snake! Put a bullet in the traitors head!!

[TAMARLANE]

what is your GPS?

[Clockwork137]

That Paulson guy walks like a treacherous snake.

[JPUPPY006]

"All efforts by the government to bailout private industry are unconstitutional...the reasons are grounded in the constitution..."

This is circular logic. The constitution authorizes congress to appropriate funds, the bail out authorized Sec. Paulson to spend funds. The bail out included provisions regarding the purchasing of toxic assets as well as the recapitalizing of private banks. I am not for the bail out, but arguments like the judge's provide little insight.

[JiveDadson]

The legitimate powers of the legislative and executive branches are enumerated in the constitution. The 10th Amendment rules out other powers. Nothing in the Constitution remotely suggests that treasury money may be used to buy up toxic debt or shares in private companies. But the Supremes have a long history of ruling that the "necessary and proper" and "commerce" clauses of the Constitution render the enumerated powers meaningless. That position is indefensible, IMO.

[mindprism]

--But the Supremes have a long history of ruling that the "necessary and proper" and "commerce" clauses of the Constitution render the enumerated powers meaningless. That position is indefensible, IMO.

FDR March 9, 1933 National Economic Emergency, War Powers - constitution suspended

You know- the Bankruptcy. (formal surrender to the bankers)

Silly kids keep playin like theres an America! haha

[jibbi4one]

The verdict is totally correct.

How do you get more judges like Hon. Andrew Napolitano??

[DillonX]

I hope we're all wise enough to kick the "trickled down" myth to the curb now.

It didn't work on the massive tax cuts Bush got for the top 5% (many put the money in off-shore accounts or invested over-seas), and this $750 Billion that's going mostly to the top 5% won't help much either.

Any builder knows you build from the bottom up, not from the top down.

[wdcsucks1]

paulson should be hung by the neck!!!

[DillonX]

They let Congrss & the people believe they were gonna help out homeowners & others in the middle class, but all along they knew it was going to the top 5%.

And don't expect this to trickle down anymore than the Bush tax cuts for the top 5% did.

[Plutonwolf]

The Trickle down Myth has to be the greatest scam ever put forth in the history of mankind. The true path to economic power and stability is to allow a truly prosperous middle class to exist with rich rewards for hard work and ingenuity, not the myth of "Rich people make jobs" to continue to have a day in court. Rich people make money and if that means cutting the financial throats of tens of thousands of honest people, then so be it by their reasoning.

[TAMARLANE]

Just curious. Which country in the world has more middle class members than America?

[Plutonwolf]

Just curious. Which country has the fastest shrinking middle class?  Here's a clue....it's the same country.

[TAMARLANE]

The largest middle class over the centuries, since the inception of the United States of America has been the United States of America.

That is why we have become the largest consumers in the world. Because we have the best system to accommodate a middle class. true enough, we are presently in decline.

The answer to our problems is not to become a socialist country. Take care of your family, your friends and neighbors, and the rest will take care of itself.

[Plutonwolf]

We are consumers, true enough. And how have we remained consumers since we stopped being producers of any note? Debt.

We are now the greatest debtor nation the planet has ever known. This thrust towards consumerism is unsustainable. We have sold our future for a gilded now. We sell our own infrastructure to other nations and foreign corporations. While diligently guarding against the bogey man of socialism we have ignored the true reality of becoming indentured serfs to foreign powers.

[TAMARLANE]

As Shakespeare said so long ago, "It is easy to be a critic in the audience, but it is difficult to be a player upon the stage."

If you think you can do more than bitch gripe and complain here on youtube, then get in touch with the new Obama administratiion and help them implement some of your observations.

You are truly wasting your talents here on Youtube.

[Plutonwolf]

LOL, And what makes you think I am NOT highly politically active??? I may not rise to the level of Presidential notice (do you?) but I do make a bit of difference on the local and county level where I live and that is making some small difference.

I post here, not to sway the minds of folks like you, that just isn't going to happen, I do this to put forth a counter-point to the politics of selfish self centeredness that is the toxic legacy of Reagan and his minions. We can and will heal.

[TAMARLANE]

Give you a hint. Trying to get even with Reagan is too late. He did more good than bad in my opinion. But domestically he was tough on the country. Ended the cold war. That was huge. Don't please don't tell me Gorbachov ended the cold war. You will lose all credibility at that moment.

[Plutonwolf]

Getting even? I am trying to repair the damage, his ass is dead, there is no better revenge.

As to his "winning" the cold war, that is a constant theme that is such a twisted bit of propaganda I no longer get angryy when I hear it said.

WE WON the cold war. He just happened to be in office when the USSR ran out of steam. Don't forget HST,DDE, JFK, LBJ, RMN, FORD AND CARTER. Also, all the service men and women that manned the line for all those tense years. Reagan? Phah, an actor.

[GreatSatan1]

I thought so. You are one of those leftist deniers of truth. SDI sunk the Soviet Union economically.

[Plutonwolf]

I thought so, you are one of those inbred right wing closet cases who want to exhume Ronald Reagans corpse to have sex with it. Face it sparky, he was a figure head, a animatronic puppet under the direct and unceasing control of foreign interests.  Witness his traitorus fascination and insistence on open unfettered trade with no concern or provisions to account for subsidation on imported goods by foreign manufacturers.

Reagan was the greatest traitor in American history and you go gay for him

[HighPreistofAtheism]

Amen brother Napalitano.

[dellsprospects22]

this im-balance of power has to stop, time for the vipers to slink back to their holes

[FedMustDie]

We must end the Federal Reserve's stranglehold on our currency and debt

[dellsprospects22]

restore the republic rally for sound money end the fed protest saturday nov 22nd supoort hr 2755 write a letter to congress my friend is making a vid can you help promote it? i posted the info on a bulletin yesterday?

[TAMARLANE]

You plan to send a letter to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid? How futile is that?

[Unkn0wnGuy]

I would prefer to hang them both.

[TAMARLANE]

And what do you propose we do to implement your ideas?

[dellsprospects22]

no..i'm writing a letter to my congressman supported HR 2755 to end the fed introduced by ron paul..did you see the bulletin?

[dellsprospects22]

and it's not my idea, the fed is private, isn't backed by gold hasn't been since 1972..it was set up by international bankers in 1913 now they've driven the interest rate down to nothing and bailed out their heinous buddies who want the world monetary system at everyones expense..by the way, my grandchildren who aren't born yet are in debt and if i want a future i have to invest in COMMUNIST CHINA? YUK

[TAMARLANE]

Never fear. Our peerless leaders will lead us out of this maze. The most experienced, the most revered leaders in our country are at the helm. They know exactly how to pull all the right levers, push all the right buttons, to save us from a fate worse than a fate worse than death. Hail to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Our saviors.

[TAMARLANE]

Misplaced blame. It is Nancy Pelosi and Hsrry Reid in cahrge of passing the buck. Giving all this power to one man is the democrat way of hiding behind the curtain and letting someone else, someone from the conservative side, bear the burden of failure.

Even now, Obama is loading the deck with conservative politicians to serve his administration. Ostensibly to bring everyone together. In reality, this is to have someone to blame, someone to burn , when things spin out of control.

[TheAllMightyPen]

Someone arrest these banksters !

[ShiekYerbooty]

Why is this video on page 5 ? There are tweleve videos with less views on page 2 ??

[DillonX]

Bush is still President -- so why would anyone be surprised to learn that the $750 billion is going mostly to the top 5% and not to middle America?

[SOtiredofliberals]

I don't agree with the bailouts, but what you are missing STILL is that that 5% that you democrats and uneducated people keep ignorning is that poor people don't employ people. RICH PEOPLE DO!

[lordyuppie]

Yes, yes, we should give all our money to the richest of the rich to burn however they see fit because otherwise there would be no jobs! THIS OPINION MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

[frEbase1]

and Obama was a major cheerleader of the bill so what exactly is your point?

[TAMARLANE]

Exactly. It is strategy to continue to blame conservatives for the failures in our economy.

The exact opposite of truth. As usual.

[MrEC324]

Sounds like a signing statement to me. They do nothing Congress, will do just that, NOTHING. The system is broke, we need to start by ending the Federal Reserve.

[misterb1972]

It's not a 700 billion dollar bailout its a

5+ trillion dollar destruction of the US economy. Stop calling it 700 billion and please for fuck sake stop calling it a bailout.

[jokertim777]

A young man will tell a woman anything to get into her pants. Paulson did the same to Congress to get the powers over the financial markets he is now abusing.  Only now, as he begins to use the dictatorial powers can we see the depths of Congress' betrayal. Now the whore (Congress)is having regrets.

BTW, does anyone else think that Hank looks more like Lex Luthor with each passing day? He certainly seems to have plans to take over the whole world with his Global Financial System aspirations.

[cowboy1165]

Let me know when it's time to pour powder and ball.

[DillonX]

Citicorp firing 53,000 employees, but the Execs still not willing to give-up their million dollar bonuses.

Will public pressure force them to?

[dewey1111]

Thank you so much for stating the obvious. The American people know this...it is just refreshing for someone from MSM to acknowledge it.

[cowboy1165]

Not all some are still in a coma.

anyway I agree here! here!

[julianhpike]

Love this guy!

[andyKCIUK]

America sucks big time...

[watcherFA]

[ryancsmith2003]

If you agree with this video you should shoot an email to your local congressman.

[OutlawTomFantastic]

This guy is good.

[DillonX]

ckbac --

Stop being naive.

I am a Republican.

I was a delegate to our State Republican Convention this year.

But I'm also smart enough to know that "the trikle down theory" doesn't work.

[OutlawTomFantastic]

Trickle down actually does work, as long as you cut government spending as you cut taxes. It's no good to create a deficit that puts generation after generation in debt, though. The budget must be balanced.

[arcanekrusader]

ummm.... you are wrong.

[billybbob18]

Protest your local federal reserve bank on Nov. 22!

[smttysmth02gt]

Wow. Great video!!! Now if we can get congress to listen to this guy.

[OutlawTomFantastic]

This guy should run for congress.

[NSResponder]

He should be on the supreme court. Congress would be a waste of his talents.

-jcr

[ckpac]

DillonX, stop being naive. The Democrat controlled congress holds the financial purse strings, and their approval rating is lower than Bush's. It was Pelosi, Barney Franks and Harry Reid who twisted arms and led the push to force this bailout through the senate.(after padding it with an additional $150B in pork) It is the "insider elite" of BOTH parties that are screwing us, not just Bush.

If you really want to blame someone, you might want to focus on Greenspan, Bernanke and Paulson.

[MS1719ms]

This video need's to be seen by all americans. thank you Judge Napolitano for speaking the truth!

[DillonX]

They promised to help the middle class, but just like everything else that's gone in since Bush came in 8 years ago, this $750 Billion will mostly end up in the pockets of the top 5%, & much of that will then go into off-shore bank accounts where they won't even pay tax on the interest.

BUSH HAS SCREWED US GOOD AND I DONT SEE ANY WAY TO REVERSE IT!

[tito2b2]

A nation of sheep.

[BagOfEyebrows]

That was so beautiful and powerfully spoken, I stood up at my computer area and applauded wildly! You are so rock and roll, Judge Napolitano!

[cowboy1165]

I stood and saluted him.

[VincentVonGoat]

...but now Sec Paulson says he's scratching the pre-approved plan & taking matters into his own hands. "What gives him that power?!"

ANS: The same apathetic "Americans" that allow[ed] these crooks to be in power for the past 20-30 years.

At this point, they could hold a press conference and tell the American people point blank: "We're robbing you".

The lack of action & the silence would be deafening!

[republicae]

There is a word for what has transpired, not only recently, but numerous times in the past and that word is TREASON!!!!

With all that word implies those in our government who are found guilty of TREASON should pay the ultimate penalty for that TREASON!!!!

[Gilgamesh73]

Absolutely agree.

[vikingscool]

Exactly!

[robpatozz]

TREASON - United States Code at 18 U.S.C. § 2381 states "whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."

Sounds like TREASON to me.

[Dukems08]

Sounds exactly like treason. We need massive citizen arrests of these crooks, because it seems our police don't even know how to take care of this scenario. Unless they too become informed of this.

[medliberty]

Napolitano for Secy. of Treasury!!

[PotSmokinFoo]

Or SCOTUS.

[P38SpaceModulator]

short of congress calling for the fed's and the treasury's arrest, nothing will happen. the entire congress is a lame duck now.

[ficote72]

You just described it, a nation of sheep.

[strokedonce]

Congress is inept or corrupt or both for adding to the bill and then approving the 853 billion. The bottom line for Paulsen was protection of his and his cronies personal wealth. Does anyone notice how much things have "improved" since the caper took place? I guess because gas is only $2.45 a gallon (150% more than it was when our hero,"W",took office btw) we ought to be glad? A year ago I was grossing 1500 a wk,last week I grossed 111.54. Talk about why I'm in foreclosure?

[sharpsteve2003]
