Book Description
In this alarming book, Judge Napolitano makes the solid case that there is a pernicious and ever-expanding pattern of government abuse in America's criminal justice system, leading him to establish his general creed: "The government is not your friend." As an attorney, a law professor, a commentator, a judge, and now a successful television personality, Judge Napolitano has studied the system inside and out, and his unique voice has resonance and relevance. Whether in the big, headliner criminal cases or in the thousands of small-town trials no one ever hears about (but should), the police, the prosecutors, the politicians, the judges, and the machinery of government are inexorably grinding away at the individual liberties guaranteed to all Americans by the Constitution. But in this sensational new book, Napolitano sets the record straight, speaking frankly from his own experiences and careful, thorough investigation and revealing how government agencies will often arrest without warrant, spy without legal authority, imprison without charge, and kill without cause.
Constitutional Chaos: What Happens When the Government Breaks Its Own Laws FROM THE PUBLISHER
As Senior Judicial Analyst for Fox News, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano has brilliantly sounded off on the judiciary's failure to protect American freedom. Now, in his first book, Judge Napolitano focuses his biting criticism squarely on the government's disregard for the bedrock of American freedoms: the U.S. Constitution. Revealing how our founding principles are being trampled upon by judges, politicians, bureaucrats, prosecutors, and police in the name of the law, Napolitano shows how Americans can no longer consider our rights to be guaranteed where government agencies seize evidence without warrant, spy without authority, imprison without charge, and kill without cause. Napolitano takes readers through an outrageous slew of government abuses, explaining how enemies of the Constitution working in our own government: Silence the First Amendment, Shoot Holes in the Second, Break Some Laws to Enforce Others, Entrap Citizens, Steal Private Property, Even Deny Suspects Their Day in Court. Unless we want our great country to fall victim to this oppressive influence, Judge Napolitano says we must force lawmakers and enforcers, to obey the same laws that the rest of us do, demand judges enforce our guaranteed rights, and uphold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
