Yep. Our country is all but gone. We are pert near AMERICA in name only.
The Judge is correct. The Rights given to us by our Creator and recognized in the Bill of Rights are being ignored by all branches of government.
I doont necessarily disagree with his overall point, but he distorts and mischaracterizes as much as any liberal activist judge.
This is another article on the side of the scale that restoring the USA from within the system is becoming impossible. Once Obama legalizes several tens of millions of illegals and continues to import as many as he can, the takeover will be complete. The US will have fallen to a soft coup lead by the cabal in the White House and their agents throughout the government and the media.
The time to resort to that third (or fourth, depending on your list) box gets closer every day.
4th Amendment is a Civil Right and there is not natural right to privacy.
4th Amendment does not even address privacy, but being secure against unreasonable search.
This guy is looney tunes.
I don’t necessarily disagree with the point he is trying to make, but his argument is nonsense.

While the Judge should not have attempted to enshrine a “right to privacy” in the Bill of Rights, for better or worse a very liberal United States Supreme Court once recognized its existence.
What I think Napolitano is doing is making “sauce for the gander” an argument to use against the statists. The people who argue for “right to abortion” as being an extension of “right to privacy” are hypocrites if they don’t condemn the government for its limitless disregard of the 4th Amendment by prying into all aspects of your life.

I agree.
I keep trying to make the point that the Patriot Act (as it was intended) was not the evil boggart it is now.
It was intended to break down the Gorelick Wall that kept the intel agencies from sharing data and spreading the word.
But as with all heavy weapons like this, if wielded by honorable men, it’s a tool for good. It has been usurped by evil men, and now becomes a cudgel for evil.
“While the Judge should not have attempted to enshrine a “right to privacy” in the Bill of Rights”
Yeah. Nor is it a natural or human right like freedom speech or religion.
I appreciate your comment, but I really couldn’t tell what he was trying to do in the article.
Instead of declaring war on the terrorists, our government declared war on its own citizens.
Yes, Jorge refused to close the border and make illegals self-deport, and refused to round up mohammedans who had overstayed their visas, but he did push the “Patriot” Act. So now we continue to have porous borders and mohammedan immigration but can feel secure that 85 year old, white-haired grandmas are having to endure body cavity searches at the airport.
Thank you, Jorge.
How about "appealing to people's emotions and sense of outrage to get them riled up?"
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

While the word “privacy” is not used, the right of privacy is nonetheless guaranteed by the 4th amendment. To be “secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects” implies privacy. The government routinely violates the 4th amendment under the cover of unconstitutional laws.
Sorry Judge .. BUT AMERICA IS A REPUBLIC .. not a democracy.
To be exact America is a democratic Republic
America is designed to be a Representative Republic.
Actually America is a Constitutional Republic. So I was also wrong
