Synopses & Reviews
In A NATION OF SHEEP, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano frankly discusses how the federal government has circumvented the Constitution and is systematically dismantling the rights and freedoms that are the foundation of American democracy. He challenges Americans to recognize that they are being led down a very dangerous path and that the cost of following without challenge is the loss of the basic freedoms that facilitate our pursuit of happiness and that define us as a nation.
Judge Napolitano reminds readers what America is all about, that the purpose of government is to protect freedom, and freedom is the ability to follow your own free will and not the will of government bureaucrats. He asks the simple question, which are YOU, a sheep or a wolf? Do you blindly follow behind where you are led, or do you challenge the government at every pass, forcing it to make decisions that will protect our freedoms?
Judge Napolitano asks the questions that no one else will, challenging readers to rethink why they are blindly following a government that has only its own interests in mind. He asks: Why is the government using the war on terror as an excuse to sidestep the Constitution? Why are Americans not challenging and questioning the government as it continues to limit more and more of our freedoms? What part of Congress shall make no law... does the government not understand when it criminalizes speech? Whatever happened to our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that are proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, guaranteed by the Constitution, yet ignored by the governments elected to protect them? Why does every public office holder swear allegiance to the Constitution, yet very few follow it? Don't we have rights that are guaranteed and cannot be taken from us?

Synopsis
In this explosive new book, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, Fox News Channel's Senior Judicial Analyst, holds a straightforward conversation with the American voter in which he asks questions and gives answers that no one else will: Why do our taxes continue to rise, government services stay worse than ever, and we just pay the taxes and re-elect those who raised them? Why do people in government never acknowledge a mistake and why do we accept that? Why does the government continue to regulate private behavior? Why do both Republicans and Democrats bring about bigger and more expensive government? What ever happened to our individual inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that are guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence, yet ignored by the governments elected to protect them? Why does Congress keep telling the States what to do? Why does every public office holder swear allegiance to the Constitution, yet very few follow it? Why are we afraid of the governments we have hired to protect our freedoms?
