Judge Andrew Napolitano

[jerry]

I always enjoy the judges viewpoints, and he makes a few good ones in this interview here. A most interesting discussion of which includes Barry's impeachable offences' of creating his own rules as he goes about desecrating the constitution. As always he adds some most interesting tidbits of our historys leaders , not well known or discussed within the general public DYvYnmklNhs

What few Americans realize is that the US Constitution does not grant me any rights. It curtails the government's ability to violate my natural rights as a being.

The phrase "I have a constitutional right to ..." is not correct. I have a right as a being to ..., which the government cannot impinge upon.

I have often made the argument that our morally bankrupt U.S. Presdients in no way compare to the nobility of our founding fathers. Andrew Napolitano just blew a hole in that idea.

The George Washington that cut the toes off and removed the teeth from his slaves, in order to bypass the laws of Philadelphia against slavery, seems to have found worthy successors with Bush and Obama.

Yes I believe we could count on one hand the honorable moral leaders we have had in this failing freedom experiment called USA

If one wants to get technical, the constitution is an agreement with the governing body, yet only those who have signed are participatory in that agreement. I recognize that they were acting in a representative capacity, but that is not clearly outlined and hence stands outside admiralty law. If one really wants to assert their 'constitutional rights', they might consider signing a copy of the document and sending copies to the respective public officials,....

Lysander Spooner has an excellent dissertation on that, available here:

Having said, I would also suggest that those who are without sin should cast the first stones WRT 'presidents and their misdeeds'.

Is there any documentation re the misdeeds of Washington and other Founding Fathers?
I've not heard those accusations before, and this Judge is a spokesperson for Fox News, after all, the station which, self-admittedly, does not feel obliged to adhere to the truth.

Sorry, mgray, your fellow americans have given away nearly all their, and your, rights in the name of irrational fear. Your rights went down with theirs because you didn't stand up and complain. It is so late now, that the american public may be obligated to once again spill their blood to regain their 'inalienable' rights. Actually, I think it's too late for that. TPTB have militarised the police and stockpiled thousands of body bags. They are ready for you. Maybe the only way to win is through peaceful demonstrations and boycott of the large banks and large corporations. Vote with your feet. The ballot box is broken.

The America that exists today is not the one that I grew up in. When I joined the military in 1968, we had already lost that wonderful land of dreams - I just did not know it yet.
