Judge Napolitano to Juan Williams: "You've Abandoned Notion That Constitution Means What It Says"

JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Juan, fasten your seat belt. The federal government should stay within the confines of the constitution. The constitution does not authorize the federal government to have anything whatsoever to do with healthcare. So, Obamacare should be abolished along with Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, but the people who are on those programs should be grandfathered in because they paid money to be in there and they've ordered their lives to stay there. The states should regulate healthcare because the states retain that power under the constitution.

So, if you want if you want mandatory healthcare, go live in Massachusetts. If you want the free market and you want individual savings accounts, financial money savings accounts, go live in Texas. As Uncle Ronnie used to say, you can vote with your feet. When the government attempts to do what only the free market can do, when the government says everybody has got to drive a Mercedes whether you can can afford one or not, whether you want to drive one or not, very few people will have cars and everybody will be walking to work.

JUAN WILLIAMS: Let me just very quickly ask, you say you want to do away with Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid?

NAPOLITANO: Absolutely, because the constitution doesn't authority it and it would be far better administered by the states and by private enterprise.

WILLIAMS: Did you hear what Bret Baier said about the politics? Do you think you can do away with Social Security and Medicare in this country?(continued)

I’ve always felt Napolitano should run for office somewhere

I prerecord Special Report on my DVR. As soon as Juan Williams starts talking I fast forward until somebody with an IQ over 71 starts to talk.

“Let me just very quickly ask, you say you want to do away with Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid?”

(indignantly) Yes, by God!

What do you think we did for 150 years? Wow, we managed! We even ended up with the greatest medical (not “health”) schools and hospitals in the world, half of it was built pre-FDR!

Then what you’re saying is that Williams and Beckel are competing for the same job?

Poor old Juan the dunce has only the barest idea what is in the US Constitution. He knows nothing about The Tenth Amendment or what lead up to the Second Amendment

I would love to see him as a Supreme Court Justice instead of those 2 Obama’s hags.

I have to mute Juan all the time or change channels. A lib like Kristin Powers can add or highlight something useful to provide the conservative counterpoint to. Juan adds nothing but irritation at his stupidly and eternal defense of Obama

He was just at the White House to pick up some Obama talking points...along with other presstitutes

I think they take 12 hour shifts just to make sure Fox has it covered.

I generally find myself in agreement with Judge Napolitano.
And, this is one of those...clear, concise, understandable to everyone except KoolAid-drinking, dhimmicrap socialsts like Juan Williams.

I saw that. One of the best smack downs of Juan ever. Technically inaccurate though as Juan couldn’t abandon what he has never cared about in the first place.

Juan has reverted to being a worthless, spineless, brainless, commie.

I saw that exchange live on Wednesday. Juan was the odd man out between Napalitono and (I think) Dr. K. He couldn’t believe his ears that they were saying Obamacare and Obama’s unilateral decisions to change the ‘law of the land’ is not in accord with the Constitution. Juan is just a liberal toady.
