Ex-Newark judge speaks at Glenn Beck rally at Great Adventure
Newark native Judge Andrew Napolitano took the stage of the Northern Star Arena at Six Flags Great adventure shortly after 4 pm.
"We were created in the image and likeness of God," Napolitano told the crowd of roughly 700 at the Restore America rally. "As God is perfectly free, he created us perfectly free."
Napolitano, a former Newark superior court judge and a regular legal analyst on Fox News, was among a roster of speakers that rallied the crowd today, in preparation for headliner Glenn Beck, who is scheduled to speak at 7 pm.
Napolitano spoke for 40 minutes, casting the Tea Party movement as an historic constitutional struggle for freedom from the tyranny of the federal government.
"Every two or three generations a a president comes along ... that seriously violates the constitution," Napolitano said, as he cited John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt for civil rights violations. "Why is it that when people get into power they forget about freedom?"
Napolitano, sounding a regular theme of Tea Party members, criticized President Obama and Congress for passing healthcare legislation that Napolitano said was an intrusion on the freedoms of Americans.
"Their first job is to keep us free," Napolitano said. "If they're keeping us safe but unfree, they're not doing their job."

Transmission is now good.
So I would like to know how John Adams violated civil rights...
Strange. I can hear the ads just fine and other streaming video; however; I can’t hear a word Glenn Beck is saying.
Disable your Mormon blocking filter.

Alien and Sedition Acts
By Martin Kelly, About.com Guide
Definition:
These acts were passed during John Adams time as president in response to criticisms against the government and specifically the Federalists.
The backlash to these acts was probably the main reason why John Adams was not elected to a second term as president. The Acts consist of four measures designed to limit immigration and free speech. They include:
The Naturalization Act – The residence requirement for citizenship moved from five to fourteen years.
The Alien Act – The President could deport ‘dangerous’ aliens at will.
The Alien Enemy Act – The president could expel or imprison enemy aliens during times of declared war.
The Sedition Act – Any conspiracy against the government including riots and interference with officers would result in a high misdemeanor. This went so far as to stop people from speaking in a “false, scandalous and malicious” manner against the government.
