FINALLY, someone is challenging "Judge" Napolitano on some of the BS he shovels on Fox News........a long time coming, IMHO.

Napolitano seems like a nice-enough guy, but I've always been put off by the pretentiousness involved in him always being addressed as 'Judge.' As the column demonstrates, he is nothing more than a former, relatively minor, state judge, and is anything but a legal scholar. This column is absolutely devastating to Napolitano's reputation. Fox can and should do better.

Sometimes I agree with Napolitano. Other times I do not.
In any event, everytime he-or anyone else at FOX-refers to him as "Judge" I cringe.
If he's off the bench he should stop using the honorific when referring to himself. If he was still on the bench he shouldn't be shilling on TV.

Nice to get the full story instead of the talking head versions that opine about their "feelings". Thanks for sharing. Waiting on the retraction/correction....

Challenging? More than that! I'd say game, set, and match! Thanks for posting the article, MamaLucci.

Napolitano is the Wolf-Man. He has to shave his face prior to his (too) many appearances on Fox TV.

Of course, had Napolitano taken the few minutes necessary to read the indictment (which is freely available online), he might have learned that all of the conversations and actions that resulted in Stewart's conviction took place about two years or more before the post-9/11 regulation (which the, er, Judge, in any event, mischaracterizes). That is: before George W. Bush was president, before John Ashcroft was attorney general, and before 9/11 ever happened. This investigation was very ably conducted by, and took place under the auspices of incontestably proper regulations imposed by, the Clinton Justice Department. Napolitano shuld be immediately fired by the FoxNews Channel for this fraudulent opinion piece.

I've not been impressed with Judge Andrew Napolitano...finally, hopefully, someone with some power at Fox News will let his contract run out and get someone else to be the pundit for legal issues. Mark Levin, for instance?

This column is absolutely devastating to Napolitano's reputation..... Agree totally. A complete and utter smackdown. I also agree that Napolitano seems like a nice enough guy, but he takes himself (and his legal opinions) waaaaay too seriously.

All agreed, although I will inform you that while the NJ judges are pathetically liberal, NJ has one of the finest judicial systems in the World. Eisenhower offered the U.S. Supreme Court to the judge who stayed in NJ instead to set up the system. It's modeled after the federal system so you have appointment instead of election. Pennsylvania by contrast is a corrupt zoo. Sadly, the courts are still asses because so liberal. But there is a tradition that half the judges are dems and half repubs, with the 1 seat majority going to whichever side is in power. But, alas, they are all liberal in any event.

Napolitano made my head explode when he praised Michael Newdow for the public servive he is doing by challenging the Pledge.

Completely OT but Napolitano has the strangest hair line. Comes down within an inch of his eyebrows.

It may not be apparent from the coverage, even in the ultra-left wing, old-timey rags, but the old school New York commies, socialists and anti-Americans are going bananas over Lynn Stewart's conviction. She is one of the ultra-left wing icons, almost of the stature that Joe Stalin used to seek her guidance, and the commies are outraged that she finally got caught. If we can put her away for 25 years, the country will be a better place.

I agree. Napolitano, while an entertaining and amiable presence on Fox, is someone I used to look forward to listening to - That is until he started to spout some of the gibberish the article refers to.
His unstinting defense of the chaos unleashed by the misapplication and misuse of the rights conferred under the First Amendment and his railings against the imposition of reasonable (And, IMO, very necessary) restrictions on the ability dangerous convicted Felons to communicate with the outside world are, at the least, irresponsible.

Nice to get the full story instead of the talking head versions that opine about their "feelings". Good point.........McCarthy so obviously knows of what he speaks, that the reader feels unusually informed upon reading his thoughts. Sad, isn't it?

An attorney is not required to carry messages for their client. When an attorney becomes a participant in a criminal enterprise, they should be prosecuted.
To: MamaLucci
I kind of like the 'judge'. In this case, however, he's out of his realm of 'education, knowledge, and experience', i.e., he's practicing outside of his field, stretching his credentials. If I did that as an engineer, offered public opinions on engineering issues outside my area of expertise, I would be subject to censure and fine.

It will be interesting to see how/if Fox News reacts to this devastating piece by NRO.

Let's be brutally honest about Fox News here. They have a reputation for covering stories and hosting guests that the left-wing media shy away from, but the quality of their work is often shoddy at best -- and they are often prone to the kind of half-@ssed sensationalist "journalism" described in this article.
Heck, I'd love to say that I even care about it -- but I have steadfastly refused to watch Fox since the day they hired Geraldo Rivera Jerry Rivers.
