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."

Strange. I can hear the ads just fine and other streaming video; however; I can’t hear a word Glenn Beck is saying.
