Andrew Napolitano: Double Jeopardy
Prosecutors display antipathy for Constitution. While the country processes the racial politics-inspired prosecution of George Zimmerman, which came to a conclusion last week, and as the calls to try him in federal court for the same events for which he was acquitted in a state court become louder each day, a case in upstate New York ...

Not Wanting To Hire A Criminal Now Makes You A Racist
by Emily Miller. Not wanting to employ a criminal makes you a racist. At least that is what the Obama administration has determined to be law with a regulation made without congressional approval.

FBI Requests For Data On Citizens Up 1000% Since Obama
Welcome to the surveillance state. Not surprising given recent revelations about the NSA, but as Michael Isikoff points out, the massive increase in requests for business records by the FBI under a provision in the Patriot Act, represents a sea change in the government's attitude toward privacy. The FBI has dramatically increased its use of a ... MORE
Why Democrats Love To Spy On Americans
by Michael Hastings. Besides Senators Ron Wyden and Mark Udall, most Democrats abandoned their civil liberty positions during the age of Obama. With a new leak investigation looming, the Democrat leadership are now being forced to confront all the secrets they’ve tried to hide.

Poll: Americans Angry With DOJ's Intimidation Of Media
Federal tyranny is the only thing transparent. The Internal Revenue Service scandal is just one hot-button issue that the Obama administration is facing.

How Obama Is Embarrassing Democrats & Independents
by Kate Kieffer. Democrats are blushing. And not because Anthony Weiner is back on Twitter, direct-messaging pretty young girls. Vice President Joe Biden has long held the title of “Liberal Loose Cannon.” But Biden is such a grand hugger and hand-shaker that Democrats still let him work the crowds, crossing their fingers that he won’t say ...

Andrew Napolitano: An Assault On Freedom Of The Press
Government's response to inconvenient truths. The firestorm commenced by the revelation of the execution of a search warrant on the personal email server of my Fox News colleague James Rosen continues to rage, and the conflagration engulfing the First Amendment continues to burn; and it is the Department of Justice itself that is fanning ...

Holder's Judge Shopping For A Fox News Subpoena
by Larry O'Connor, Breitbart News.

The new documents show that two judges ... MORE
Jonah Goldberg: Don't Edit The First Amendment
The press forgets the inconvenient parts. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” That's the full text ... MORE
Dear Graduates: Tyranny Is Right Around The Corner
by Andrew Napolitano. A few weeks ago, President Obama advised graduates at Ohio State University that they need not listen to voices warning about tyranny around the corner, because we have self-government in America. He argued that self-government is in and of itself an adequate safeguard against tyranny, because voters can be ... MORE
Obama's War Against The Free Press Gets Creepier
by J.D. Tuccille. Perhaps the most chilling aspect of the U.S. Department of Justice "investigation" of Fox News chief correspondent James Rosen isn't the intrusive tracking of his movements and contacts — although that's disturbing enough — but the basis for the criminal charges he may ultimately face. At its heart, the allegation ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: Storm Clouds Gathering
Government is bad for personal freedom. That argument is premised upon the truism that everything government does interferes with freedom because it either prohibits or compels. Everything it owns it has taken from others. Much of what it says is divorced from the truth. President Obama, like President George W. Bush, has argued ... MORE

Eric Holder: If The President Does It, It's Legal
by John W. Whitehead, Rutherford Institute. “I never thought I would see the day when a Justice Department would claim that only the most extreme infliction of pain and physical abuse constitutes torture and that acts that are merely cruel, inhuman and degrading are consistent with United States law and policy, that the Supreme Court would have ...
