Click on the title link to access a video of Judge Andrew Napolitano's speech.
What are the chances this guy would ever be nominated for SCOTUS, or make it through the advise and consent gauntlet if he did...?

Excellent speech. His Honor may be a bit late to the party, but I'm glad he's joined nonetheless. History provides previous examples of the federal government asserting a power to monitor financial transactions, surprise searches without a warrant, and arbitrary re-definitions of terms to expand power. It's just that the current government is probably the most paranoid in history.
And FDR's "message of hope" doesn't make him any better in my book. We have no shortage of bureaucrats and politicians who said one thing while doing another. Bush doesn't hold the record for most new federal powers created, either.
Computer still not debugged, therefore I cannot watch video on it, nor can I hook up sound. A situation that will be corrected in a few weeks when I get my new computer hooked up.
However, I have read several of Napolitano's writings and he is not late to the party.
I don't watch television, so I don't get to see this guy on Fox, and local libraries are mainly concerned with trash fiction that sells in bookstores -- God forbid a subversive like Napolitano or Jeff Cooper fall into the hands of the public. What I'm giving here is my impression based on that video.
I thought his speech was excellent, however limited to current politics. I hope people aren't getting the impression that it's: Toss Bush, problem solved. Because it's not, and voting for people from the blue side of the Authoritarian Socialist Party isn't going to help, either.
That said, I'm hunting down his books online right now, because I can see from the excerpts that it's something I shouldn't have missed.
thj, you will be happy you did. Especially when you read what he has to say about the sorry state of the judidiciary and the lack of scholastic integrity or any other kind currently sitting in the majority on the benches of our legal system. Sorry, can't call it a justice system.
