Judge Andrew P. Napolitano is a nationally recognized champion of personal freedom. He is the youngest life-tenured Superior Court judge in the history of New Jersey. While on the bench from 1987 to 1995, he presided over more than150 jury trials and sat in all parts of the Superior Court — criminal, civil, equity, and family. He handled thousands of sentencings, motions, hearings, and divorces. Judge Napolitano joined Fox News Channel (FNC) in January 1998 and currently serves as the senior judicial analyst, providing legal analysis on both FNC and Fox Business Network (FBN). He is nationally known for reporting on the government as it takes liberty and property. With great conviction and brutal honesty, Judge Napolitano reminds audiences that the purpose of government is to protect our freedoms and that you cannot make a poor person rich by making a rich person poor. The engine of American prosperity has been rugged individualism, not government intervention.
