with foreword by Senator Rand Paul

Suicide Pact: The Radical Expansion of Presidential Powers and the Lethal Threat to American Liberty Hardcover – November 18, 2014

by Andrew P. Napolitano (Author), Rand Paul (Foreword)

New York Times bestselling author Judge Andrew P. Napolitano exposes the alarming history of presidential power grabs performed in the name of national security.

Judge, scholar, bestselling author, and Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst Andrew P. Napolitano is back with a shocking chronicle of America’s descent from a free society to a frightening surveillance state.

In Suicide Pact, Napolitano details a long, sordid history of governmental—and especially presidential—encroachments on liberty, enacted in the name of protecting America but which serve insead to undermine national security and erode the nation’s founding freedoms.

Appealing to all politically aware Americans but especially to highly engaged conservatives and libertarians (including his 576,000 Facebook fans and 240,000 Twitter followers), Napolitano’s sobering-yet-patriotic perspective unmasks rampant political doubletalk and Washington power plays by taking a clear, legally grounded look at how we got here.

Blending fascinating history with fresh reporting and analysis on contemporary issues such as drone warfare and executions, NSA surveillance, and secret federal courts, Suicide Pact casts a vision beyond hollow rhetoric to common-sense solutions for returning sanity to our shores.

Interesting choice of words for the title.

Interesting choice of words for the title.

The phrase comes from this SCOTUS case
Terminiello v. Chicago


in which Justice Jackson used the phrase to claim limits on the right of free speech are justified in that a right can not be used to damage another right - that courts may conduct a balancing test of rights,. maintaining public order triumphs over individual rights.

"This Court has gone far toward accepting the doctrine that civil liberty means the removal of all restraints from these crowds and that all local attempts to maintain order are impairments of the liberty of the citizen. The choice is not between order and liberty. It is between liberty with order and anarchy without either. There is danger that, if the Court does not temper its doctrinaire logic with a little practical wisdom, it will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact."

Napolitano has always been over confident in a semantic view of the past. "We just have to go back to the constitution by using the system that destroyed it!"

Napolitano has educated more on natural law, specific cases of governmental overreach, and the consequences that have arose, than most any other.

Maybe Napolitano would be a good VP choice. Even though the low information voters are going to say "What? Rand Paul picked some Fox News guy to be one heart beat from the Presidency?" I think once anyone hears Napolitano speak they will understand his uber qualifications.
