Judge Napolitano: Why I'm worried about 'tyrannical' governors and anarchy in the streets
Fox News ^ | July 6, 2020 | David Montanaro

Posted on 07/06/2020 10:43:38 AM PDT by gattaca

Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano said Monday that he's growing increasingly worried about what he sees as "tyrannical" politicians combining with "anarchy" by left-wing protesters to stifle American freedoms.

Speaking on "America's Newsroom," the former New Jersey judge said he believes liberty is being "squeezed on both sides" as governors take action to combat coronavirus without state legislators passing laws to spell out the authority.

"We have anarchy in various parts of the country. We have police whose hands are tied because politicians are restraining the police because the forces of anarchy form part of the political base of those politicians. On the other side of this equation, we have tyrannical behavior by governors who are shutting down legitimate businesses, preventing people from traveling and assembling in utter violation of the Bill of Rights. So we have two extremes, often the same leftish governors," said Napolitano.

I don’t often agree with Judge Nap anymore, but I do here.

I don't think he'd put it that way, though.

Part of the problem is the leftists appointed to be Chiefs of Police all over the country. Then there is the problem of the rank and file policeman on the street has grown up under the tyranny of Political Correctness and subjected to the hectoring of the Social Justice Warriors that he or she has as teachers in public school and later college. Many of them come into law enforcement with their heads filled with the PC and SJW BS and are more than willing to stand down when it comes to the rioters, looters, vandals, and arsonists.

Since when does “growing worried” constitute a plan?

Give it time. Once Napolitano realizes that he said something pro-Trump, he’ll change his tune.

I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him for calling for Trump’s removal.

Americans were fairly melanin deficient...until Michelle and Barry came along and raised awareness about color as those two were anything but colorblind.

There are plenty of problems out there as you cited but one thing’s for sure, Andrew Napolitano ain’t part of the solution.

I'm sure he's worried that this will slide the Great Middle into the winning column for the reelection of President Trump.

Napolitano exemplifies the old adage of a blind hog sometimes finding an acorn.

It’s called Anarcho-Tyranny, and it is the result of the Managerial (Deep) State. It’s what happens when conservatism is utterly subverted (Economics Man, neoconservatism, etc.). It is what could ultimately doom The West. There is no political or intellectual movement that opposes The Left that doesn’t accept its premises. “Me too, but slower” is not opposition.

You can leave it right there.
