As usual, GG
sums it up pretty well.
Yes he did!
The verdict will provoke predictable, fact-free, fear-mongering attacks on the American judicial system
Wonder why he would think that of the people who make up the "home of the brave!"

Now that's a real knee slapper!
I would hope that Judge Napolitano would slap down alot of that fear mongering. Though I get the feeling (haven't seen him in a while though) he gets paid hansomely by Fox, I think he still retains some of his judicial integrity.
bbsam,
I'd never suggest Napolitano is perfect nor who you'd agree on everything he said but I do think you'll find him very refreshing and of a marked different flavor than the typical Fox Howling dogs. I find that he has on numerous occassion had on what I would call the Red Statist barking porch puppies eg 2nd and 3rd level opinionators who aren't big enough to run with the big dogs, and he's not afraid to take them to task and often does. I also think there's a real reason the "big dogs" won't come on his show too!
He's also been pretty consistent as to the likes of Gitmo in that it should be shutdown and all detainees given due judical process. His complete objections to the Patriot Act and the Surveil State have also come on equally legal and historical grounds.
I'll never suggest you'll become a glowing fan of the Judge, I even have some differences with him but I do think you'll at least appreciate his different POV from the run-of-the-mill howling porch puppies over at Fox News.
Not something that is complete by any measure but IMO it was a most interesting interview in which Ralph Nader and Judge Napolitano discuss the Judge's latest book on C-Span's "After Words". I don't expect you to watch the whole thing as it is an hour long but I do think you'll find it informative none the less. No shouting, shrilling or otherwise as is typical FoxNews WWE flair and thus the reason you tend to learn much more in this type calmer, discussion oriented format!
