I'm Judge Andrew Napolitano and I'm happy to have landed in the Gulch. Ask Me Anything.
I'm Judge Andrew Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst for Fox News Channel, and New York Times best selling author. I was the youngest life-tenured Superior Court judge in the history of the State of New Jersey and I'll be here today from 1PM to 2PM ET to take your questions and to talk about my new book "Suicide Pact" (http://suicidepactbook.com/), a book exposing the alarming history of presidential power grabs performed in the name of national security.
Today through Wednesday, when you buy "Suicide Pact", you'll be eligible to get another one of my books, "The Freedom Answer Book", for free. Find details here: http://suicidepactbook.com/bookbomb.php
Gulch Producers get a third book of mine, "Theodore and Woodrow: How Two American Presidents Destroyed Constitutional Freedom", for free as well. Find details here: http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/posts/1a...
Alex will be helping me out with my today by reading me the questions over the phone and typing my responses. I look forward to your questions and comments. I'll be back at 1PM ET.

With regards to the Senate, how much do you think this has taken away the essence and purpose/intent of the bicameral system and would you be in favor of returning to that? Would you agree that this amended rule is a significant factor in the disintegration of states' rights?
Regarding the presidency, what impact do you think that system would have today?
STATE OF EMERGENCY
Senate Report 93-549
War and Emergency Powers Acts
"A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years (as of the report 1933-1973), freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency."
1), Which poses the greatest danger to the US; the Council on Foreign Relations or the central bank (fed reserve)? And
2), what course of action(s) would he propose to end either of them or both?
What is your opinion of Eric Holder's involvement in State issues, and his connection to Fast and Furious?
How can things get better and can parents overcome the loss of history which comes with Common Core?
Will we ever be able to repair the damage this administration has done to our foreign policy?
Do you “feels there really is a chance to right the ship or if there are already to many holes to be repaired?
to take down Obamacare? Second? Thank You!!! -- john mason
The choice was due to a number of economic and liberty based realities: the poor economy and job market, the overbearing taxes, zero (I repeat) zero representation of my opinions, the reactionary gun laws, and the Ruling Class attitude of contempt toward people who think as I do,
In January of the previous year, I addressed the Connecticut legislature in their required, pro-forma exercise in which they pretended that they were listening to the concerns of the people over the newly proposed reactionary gun laws.
In that address, I told them bluntly that if they passed their proposed laws that they could "say good-bye to your tax base".
Many studied have shown that my warning was not baseless, the deeply Democrat run states are depopulating of the inconvenient Country Class taxpayers.
Again, do the D.C. Ruling Class realize this, and if they do, do they even care?
My question is whether having a constitutional convention would be a dangerous thing; i.e. would that open the constitution up for all kinds of alterations that we don't want?
Would it be constitutional to restrict campaign donations to candidates a voter is actually eligible to vote for? This would prevent people in one state (or area within a state) from influencing local elections in another state (or area within a state). It would also eliminate union and corporate donations.
Let the individual donate with no limits to those candidates he can actually vote for. The only requirements would be eligibility to vote for the candidate. As far as public disclosure, I am not sure. If your vote is secret, maybe your donation should also be secret.
