War and Indifference
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
Which is more destructive to personal liberty, a government that engages in secret acts of war or a public and news media that are indifferent to it? In the current American toxic stew of anti-Russian hatred and beating the drums of war -- in President Joe Biden’s America -- we have both.
Here is the backstory.
The war in Ukraine is now in its 12th month. It has become a slow, inexorable movement westward for Russian military forces and painful migrations of 5 million Ukrainians out of their country, to say nothing of the losses of between 130,000 and 150,000 Ukraine troops.

The Constitution, the Census and Citizenship
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
Late last month, the Supreme Court ruled on a challenge to a question that the Commerce Department announced it would add to the 2020 census. The census itself has been mandated by the Constitution to be taken every 10 years so that representation in the House of Representatives could be fairly apportioned to reflect population changes.
Over the years, the folks who prepare the census developed an appetite for peering into the personal lives of everyone living in America, and Congress -- which has the same mentality as the Census bureaucrats -- permitted this. So, the Census Bureau began adding personal questions in the census itself.

The Myth of Independence Day
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
The Declaration of Independence -- released on July 4, 1776 -- was Thomas Jefferson's masterpiece. Jefferson himself wrote much about it in essays and letters during the 50 years that followed.
Not the least of what he wrote offered his view that the Declaration and the values that it articulated were truly radical -- meaning they reflected 180-degree changes at the very core of societal attitudes in America. The idea that farmers and merchants and lawyers could secede from a kingdom and fight and win a war against the king's army was the end result of the multigenerational movement that was articulated in the Declaration and culminated in the American Revolution.

Can Government Punish Twice for the Same Crime?
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
"...nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb..." --Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
The government in America is out of control.
Last week, this column discussed the unconstitutional efforts of federal prosecutors in Chicago to punish an American citizen for crimes that had not yet been committed. This week, I address the wish of federal prosecutors in Alabama to charge and to punish a man for a crime for which he had already been convicted and punished.

Mueller Stirs the Pot
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
Last week, special counsel Robert Mueller -- who had been appointed by the Department of Justice two years earlier to investigate the nature and extent of Russian attempts to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election and to determine, if those attempts did occur, whether the Russians had any willing American collaborators in the Trump campaign -- came to the cameras and announced his resignation. He also underscored some of his findings and did so in such a manner as to gin up House Democrats in their march toward impeachment.

What Happened to the Freedom of Speech?
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
"Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..." -- First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
When James Madison agreed be the scrivener at the Constitutional Convention during the summer of 1787, he could not have known that just three years later he'd be the chair of the House of Representatives committee whose task it was to draft the Bill of Rights.

To Impeach or Not to Impeach
- By Judge Andrew Napolitano
"If the president does it, that means it is not illegal." -- Richard M. Nixon (1913-1994)
The revelation last weekend by Michigan Republican Congressman Justin Amash that he believes the Mueller Report accuses President Donald Trump of impeachable offenses has ignited firestorms in both major political parties on Capitol Hill. Amash's argument is simple and essentially unassailable, though his fellow congressional Republicans don't want to hear it and Democrats don't know what to do with it.
