16,081 FollowersJudge Andrew P. Napolitano Judge Andrew P. Napolitano is a former New Jersey Superior Court judge and a renowned legal analyst whose public career spans more than three decades. He served on the New Jersey Superior Court from 1987 to 1995, gaining firsthand judicial experience that anchored his lifelong defense of constitutional law and due process. After leaving the bench, Napolitano became one of America’s most visible defenders of liberty. For nearly thirty years he has worked as a commentator, author, and educator, best known for his role as senior judicial analyst at Fox News. He has written numerous books — including Constitutional Chaos, The Constitution in Exile, and A Nation of Sheep — and has consistently warned against government overreach while championing the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Napolitano’s career has unfolded across the backdrop of major world conflicts and political transformations. Spanning the end of the Cold War, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. “War on Terror,” the conflicts in Israel and Palestine, the war in Syria, and the continuing tensions between NATO and Russia, he has consistently framed these struggles through the lens of constitutional liberties and the limits of state power. Through his current programs on platforms like Rumble and YouTube, Napolitano extends his reach beyond the courtroom and television studio. He conducts in-depth interviews with diplomats, government officials, military strategists, and independent intellectuals — engaging with voices across the spectrum to illuminate how law, liberty, and war intersect in the modern world. His strict interpretation of the Constitution, coupled with his willingness to engage international perspectives, has elevated him from a respected American judge to a global voice for due process, personal freedom, and governmental restraint.
