Benghazi disguises illegal war and truth

The 800-plus-page report of the House Select Committee on Benghazi was released earlier this week. It slams former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her willful indifference to her obligation to repel military-style attacks on American interests and personnel at the U.S. consulate and a nearby CIA annex in Benghazi.

‘No fly, no buy’ means no freedom

The people in the government who want to control our personal choices are the enemies of freedom. And the enemies of freedom can be very clever and seductive.

In defense of the Second Amendment

Most of the mass killings by gun in the United States in recent years -- Columbine, Virginia Tech, Aurora, Newtown, Charleston, San Bernardino and now Orlando -- took place in venues where local or state law prohibited carrying guns, even by those lawfully licensed to do so. The government cheerfully calls these venues "gun-free zones." They should be called killing zones.

Email privacy bill amendment an assault on the right to privacy

While Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders battle over the consequences of their final round in the Democratic primaries and Donald Trump argues that Mrs. Clinton should be in prison for failing to safeguard state secrets while she was secretary of state, the same FBI that is diligently investigating her is quietly and perniciously seeking to cut more holes in the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Unconstitutional collection of information

Would all of our lives be safer if the government could break down all the doors it wishes, listen to all the conversations it could find and read whatever emails and text messages it could acquire? Perhaps. But who would want to live in such a society?

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Obama’s immigration law and the Supreme Court

In 2014, President Obama signed 12 executive orders directing various agencies in the departments of State, Justice and Homeland Security to refrain from deporting some 4 million adult immigrants illegally present in the United States if they are the parents of children born here or legally present here, and if they hold a job, obtain a high-school diploma or its equivalent, pay taxes and stay out of prison.

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Obama damning Hillary Clinton with faint praise

President Obama's recent remarks to my Fox News colleague Chris Wallace about Hillary Clinton's email issues were either Machiavellian or dumb. It is difficult to tell from them whether he wants the mountain of evidence of her criminal behavior presented to a federal grand jury or he wants her to succeed him in the White House.

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Questioning the minimum wage increase

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Hillary Clinton’s FBI troubles

The FBI investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's failure to protect state secrets contained in her emails has entered its penultimate phase, and it is a dangerous one for her and her aides.

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Hillary Clinton’s false hopes

Surely, Hillary Clinton hopes for a happy conclusion to the maddening string of primaries and caucuses that have exhausted her. Surely, she hopes to be the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party this year. And surely, she hopes to be elected president. These hopes are realistic probabilities in her own mind.
