That paragraph you highlighted is particularly shameful.........will Napolitano issue a correction of the record?
Thanks for the interesting insight on the NJ judicial system.
My highly negative impression of the NJ system was formed by its blatant flouting of the law in permitting Lautenberg to take the place on the ballot of the disgraced Robert Torricelli.
I read that this morning, what a smackdown.
Napolitano has a book to sell, so he's very quick to judge anything and everything as an assault on the Constitution. I keep waiting for him to declare E.D. Hill's hair unconstitutional. Heck, I might even support that one...
Yes, and that is precisely why the commies are squealing so loudly..............
they don't WANT the country to be a better place.
I didn't see it, but heard that Stewert cried like a baby after being convicted.
It made me think that there were many reasons that the left not only
wanted Gore to win in 2000,.............they NEEDED him to win.
Thank GOD for big favors.
ROFL!! It's true.....and McCarthy nailed him brilliantly for it.
By (erroniously) using the Stewert conviction to prop up the premise of his book,
the good "Judge" made an ass of himself.
He IS a charlatan 'journalist' isn't he. I had decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and had endured his over-hyped irrelevancies until the other day.
On that day he finally pulled the Kimono wide open and had Amarosa (The incompetent, devious, Race baiting failure who appeared on the equally inane 'Apprentice' Reality Show) as his 'Expert' commentator on - Racism and Micheal Jackson's trial - A double dose of ignorance and depravity. That was it for me. I keep the clicker handy just in case they sneak him in at some unexpected point.
I said 2 weeks ago he really showed himself to be an a-s
with that article.
Traffic court judge maybe
Anything I need to know, I learn on FreeRepublic.
Ouch!
I know nothing about legal issues but everytime I hear Napolitano I get the feeling he's an ignorant windbag.It's so great to have my gut feeling confirmed by genuine smart guy Andrew McCArthy!
My pleasure. ;)
SMACK! I've found myself wanting to throw a sock at the TV many times when "Judge" Napolitano was bloviating about some constitutional issue. Good to see Mr. McCarthy take him to the woodshed.
As I said, they are still liberal and that is the problem. There is also corruption and incompetence, but NJ has a pretty strong system in place and judges do get reprimanded or removed for misconduct. It'sa good system similar to the federal judiciary, and obviously there are problems at the federal level at well. But there is a lot to be said for a professional judiciary as opposed to the zoo atmosphere existing in many state courts.
Well .. actually, he is entitled to be called judge, just as former presidents are entitled to be called Mr. President, or as former Ambassadors are allowed to be called Mr. Ambassador.
I don't object to that part. I've just noticed a distinct dislike for Ashcroft and the Patriot Act.
I remember a private investigator (Mark Furman) who said of the Patriot Act that all it did was allow police units to do what private investigators had been able to do for years. While I'm not a big fan of Furman's, he went on to explain some of the things which police could now do which Mark said he has always been allowed to do - so Mark didn't think the Patriot Act was such a big deal.
It's like anything else which is put in front of you - it's up to YOU to choose if you will accept it or not. I rarely agree with the "Judge" - but that doesn't mean everything he says is an incorrect interrpretation of the law.
But .. FOX also employs Bob Beckel who hired a whore and brought her into his own home (while his wife was away). FOX also employs Robert Frost, a Texas representative who is hell bent on destroying Tom DeLay - and Frost's own aide was seen on video going into DeLay's office and STEALING a copy of DeLay's redistricting plan. I've been yelling at FOX over these 2 for months.
I am just tired of "Judge" Napolitano bashing John Ashcroft. Every chance he gets.
Good for Andrew McCarthy. It's about time that a seasoned journalist took "the Judge-at-Fox" to task. I've consistently disagreed with this judge's interpretations on legal matters. In my opinion, he really isn't all that bright, and as this article says, he is an embarrassment to Fox News. "Senior Judicial Analyst," - my eye. He should be let go. He is actually so off the mark, that he's somewhat comical. I feel like muttering, "Here come da judge" every time he appears on any of the many shows at Fox where they showcase this inferior legal mind.
As some of you have pointed out, he is affable enough, but he's a cocky little fellow who thinks he's "somethin' else" in the lofty pantheon of legal minds! He exudes an aura of oddly amiable, avuncular omniscience with respect to the law, when his views are based upon insufficient familiarity with their complexities, or even their basic foundation. Some retooling is needed over at Fox.
I say: "Let's draft Mark Levin!" I'm all for that!
Char :)
Interesting legal analysis ping.
