An effort to draft former New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano for a 2016 presidential run is picking up steam, Sunshine State News first reported.
The Virginia-based Committee to Draft Judge Andrew Napolitano for President announced last week that it had gathered almost 100,000 signatures and 36,000 likes on Facebook urging the libertarian to run as a Republican.
The effort is being led by Larry Hunter, a former Reagan White House staffer who worked with Jack Kemp and helped craft the "Contract With America," State News reported.
"The heads of both parties are busy right now lining up establishment candidates people who won't 'embarrass' them, who won't go too far off the good-ol'-boy grid when it comes to running the country," the group said in a statement. "And we've seen where we get when we let these old bulls pick our leaders for us. We get inaction, frustration, dysfunction.
We get government causing problems, then expanding still further to 'solve' them, then expanding still further to solve the problems the solutions themselves caused. Judge Napolitano knows better."

Isn’t Andrew Napolitano anti-gun?
President is not an entry-level job. Let’s see him get elected to something/anything first.
I think most of us would have problems with his views on gays in the military and gay marriage since he is more libertarian on those issues. I'd vote for him in any case but I think he'd make a better Attorney General or Supreme Court Justice.
Napolitano-Bolton.
Now that would get some lib knickers in a knot.
I’m pretty sure a President Napolitano would wear a suit whenever he is in the Oval Office. And he would not put his shoe on the Resolute desk.
There’s no need to mention the disgusting things clinton did.
Ok, I signed.
I did it the way our leaders in Washington do it. I signed the petition before I read it!
