What Ever Happened to the Constitution? - Judge Andrew Napolitano, page 1

The Good Judge receives a huge standing ovation as he launches into an absolutely epic speech on the US Constitution.

In this speech the Good Judge provides a background on natural rights, the history of US taxation, and why an unconstrained government always becomes a tyrannical oppressor.

I so wished the Judge would run for a high fed political office.
I have the judge on my political dream team with Ron Paul
as President and the Judge as VP.

It saddens me that people believe the constitution is an outdated piece of paper.

Stop calling the guy a judge. He hasn't been on the bench since 1995.

He is a professor and a commentator on Fox News, but he isn't a judge.

His experience as a judge and educator certainly entitles him to a bit more respect than your normal Fox talking head, but he is never the less a FORMER judge.

The American Bar Association considers it a breach of professional ethics to continue to use the honorific 'Judge' when they return to practice after retirement from the bench. I don't know about New Jersey, but Florida at least has tried to ban it.

Source: Bar studying the issue of former judges using the title 'judge'.

The ABA Commission on Ethics and Professional Responsibility also addressed the issue in Formal Opinion 95-391.

It said: "We believe that the use of the title 'Judge' in legal communications and pleadings, as well as on a law office nameplate or letterhead, is misleading insofar as it is likely to create an unjustified expectation about the results a lawyer can achieve and to exaggerate the influence the lawyer may be able to wield. In fact, there appears to be no reason for such use of the title other than to create such an expectation or to gain an unfair advantage over an opponent."

Napolitano/Paul or Paul/Napolitano 2010

That is the ticket to get going.

edit to add, does anyone think, what he mentions about the Townshend Acts, have a similarity to the Patriot Act? Cops writing their own warrants!

Oh please, are you a worshiper of the religion of robes?

Attack the argument, not the presenter. Maybe you could learn a couple things about the rule of LAW.

Unless an argument or piece of evidence is debated, that argument or evidence is considered to be FACT.

So what you are saying is, what the JUDGE presents is fact.

That will be $2000 please, I just taught you the basics of court discipline.

That would usually cost a lot more, but for you I will give you a discount.

The 'judge' makes more working for Fox than he would as president...so he won't ever run for anything.

Instead of actually doing something productive instead of getting paid a lot to say what people want to hear, folks like Napolitano will keep the gravy train going.

Just look at Sarah Palin stopped being an elected official to be a well-paid talking head, she'd rather preach on the constitution and make a bunch of money off of shmucks than put forth any effort into her ideals.

I will quote myself from further up.

Oh, and what does this have to do with Fox, Palin or your obfuscational technique of attacking the presenter?

Please, the Judge will decide in my favor if you continue to not attack the argument and continue your attack on the presenter.

Ronald Reagan's 1st Inaugural Address

Wow, I hope everyone goes to this link and read Reagan's First Inaugural address. Or listen to it, there is both video and text.

From the text-

We are a nation that has a government -- not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the earth. Our Government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed.

It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the Federal establishment and to demand recognition of the distinction between the powers granted to the Federal Government and those reserved to the states or to the people.
