Excellent video, saw it a couple days ago. Also like the Judge on radio and on Fox. Haven't read his book yet, would like too. Has any Freeper read it, lets hear a short review. Something I didn't know about him:

Andrew P. Napolitano is a 59 year old former New Jersey Superior Court Judge. He is a graduate of Princeton University , and Notre Dame Law School . At Princeton he was a founding member of the Concerned Alumni of Princeton along with Justice Samuel Alioto.

Judge Napolitano is the youngest life-tenured Superior Court judge in the history of the State of New Jersey.

I’m surprised she went two minutes on the subject.

Thanks for the link!
Hope they gave him a standing ovation for his concluding statement.
Links to additional Judge Napolitano speeches are at the bottom of the screen.

As I am a Catholic, and Napolitano is also, I find that he waters down his Catholicsim in favor of Constitutionalism.

Much the same could be said of Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas who is supposedly a devout Catholic. No devout Catholic can perform or be the Justice of the Peace in a civil or secular wedding ceremony as giving Gods permission for cohabitation. Yet, Clarence Thomas performed the ceremony for Rush Limbaugh and his wife to be.

That is exactly right about the interstate commerce clause. The “regulation” of interstate commerce is one of the few things the federal govt is legitimately allowed to do under the Constitution. The purpose was to keep individual states from exploiting each other via tariffs, levies, etc; basically anything that would disrupt the free flow of commnerce across state lines.

Then the courts got their mitts on it & today it’s been tortured to include any activity which has the “potential” to affect interstate commerce.

Which is basically anything. The idiots on the bench have ruled that 2 people talking on the phone in the same city could be subject to federal jurisdiction b/c the phone lines are interstate & thus “could” impact interstate commerce.

The Founders were clear, it took judges to really screw things up.
