The Born-Again Individualist
Fox News Channel’s Judge Andrew Napolitano on lying cops, out-of-control government, and his bestselling new book, Constitutional Chaos

Reason: How do you feel about Bush’s likely appointments to the Supreme Court?

Napolitano: I am optimistic about President Bush’s appointments because I agree with some of the deep libertarian strains of his favorite justice, Justice Scalia. When the government told the court earlier this year that the president could lock up an American and throw away the key, that the military could take people to Guantanamo Bay and do what it wanted with them there because the Constitution didn’t apply, the Court rejected those notions by a vote of 8 to 1. The strongest pro-liberty argument, the strongest argument against this extraconstitutional behavior, was written by the most conservative justice, Antonin Scalia. So there is hope, I think, that people of like mind [will be appointed to] the Court.###

Reason: Who would you like to see on the Supreme Court?

Napolitano: I would like to see people who believe that the Constitution means what it says and take rights seriously. Jay Michael Luttig is a judge in the United States Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, a former clerk for Justice Scalia. He believes the Fourth Amendment means what it says; the First Amendment means what it says.
