Chilling words by Judge Andrew Napolitano

This is chilling, and should be the news story of precedence. Every action by the NSA is 100% antithetical to the Constitution, to the 4th amendment, to the very foundations of what the founders built.
This country needs men and women who are unafraid of these vermin. To rip out this cancer because it's killing what was once a beacon of freedom.

    Could have used Orwell's trick of transposing the numbers to make it 2048. Even that might be too late.

    Judge Napolitano! Huzzah, huzzah!
    We are operating under tyranny. Politicians and Kangaroo courts are destroying the protections that are our natural birthright and enumerated in our Constitution... supposedly the highest law of the land. I hate to hear anyone say "there ought to be a law." But, we the people, need to have the power to arrest and prosecute those that undermine the Constitution. Throw out the bums!
    Run them out of town on a rail after tar and feathering.
    What is wrong with people? er... um, sheople apparently.

    He most certainly would, but NOT one Democratic (read that to as liberal or progressive) Senator would approve his nomination to the Court! He is a jurist like our Founders envisioned; a defender of the Constitution.

    The major problem is the simple fact that we must be concerned with those who chose to do; not even interpret the rules; what they want when ever they want to. the other day we had the video of police in tenn. stopping people at a bogus lic. check point. when confronted with the 4th amendment these police had no clue what it even said. do you think 0 and b talk about the patriot act and how 0 can further what b started, probably. the wonderfully intelligent judge may clarify things for us but the other 95 percent of the country probably does not know of his existence. at what point will the great debaters who occupy the halls of congress step to the front to stop this destruction of the country? never. they will do what government always does try to correct its mistakes with more mistakes, obamacare is the perfect example. the number of honest people at this time makes the thieves in numbers almost not exist. so it is the honest people who are targeted. I would not be surprised to see everything just stop within 20 years. and of course the washington crowd will ask what is wrong we have given you all you asked for. yes and you have taken our freedom. if someone on television were to read Galt's speech it would either not be understood fall on deaf ears or not be heard at all.

    I was supposing about people looking back from 2084, when it will probably be banned if things continue to go this way.

    Napolitano is, as usual, perfectly right. So is NMA. Remember the panic of 911? Everyone was running around shouting "we have to do something, we can't let those bastards get away with this, they must be punished!" Hell, I was one of them. In the end, though, who got punished? We Did! Through hasty legislation and action, the ones that got hurt the most were ourselves. A good example of what happens when reason is subjugated to emotion.

    I believe that both W and the congress at the time did what they did for noble reasons (yes, I may be that naïve). However, even nobly created laws can be twisted to nefarious purposes. This is certainly the case with the Patriot Act.

    As for Snowden, I was quick to state when it first came out that he would either be viewed as a true patriot, or a treasonous traitor. From what has come out that I can evaluate, I lean towards patriot, as does the Judge. Time will tell.

    Thank you for reminding us all that the horridly misnamed Patriot Act is not carved in stone.

    We should realize that the real purpose of the NSA has morphed into protecting our government from us citizens who disagree with it. The government here wants to preserve itself against all threats

    1984 by George Orwell is up for several auctions on eBay. When and who banned it?

    Is Big Brother watching us?

    The Judge is a true patriot and staunch supporter of individual rights; he leans toward Libertarianism in many of his comments. He is one of my contemporary heroes!

    That much surveillance, as nonselective as it obviously was, would not work to catch criminals, saboteurs, or mass murderers. You need leads. This wouldn't give you leads. It would give you dossiers on people in case you wanted to trump something up against them.

    And the agents writing their own warrants? The judge should know why that is never necessary. He remembers being on call twenty-four hours a day to approve warrants.

    Let's also remember how the people could stop sabotage and mass murder cold, if the government let them arm themselves.

    The statement the Judge makes about recent US Governments being anti-Constitutional is spot-on.

    It is almost as if they are intentionally using the media and legislation to overcome the Constitution, beginning with trivial but wrong actions, and seeking these precedents for more grotesque acts. The wimpy populace will look back in wonder through the cloudy veil of undocumented abuse and wonder why 2084 is 1984, the popular but banned book.

    The Patriot Act is set to expire on May 26, 2015. Let's see if Congress has the courage to let it die.
