When Government Becomes the Oppressor: Freedom's Last Stand
Imagine waking up one day to discover that the very institution created to protect your rights has become their greatest threat. This isn't dystopian fiction - it's the central premise of Judge Andrew P. Napolitano's provocative work. As both a former judge and constitutional scholar, Napolitano confronts us with an uncomfortable truth: our government routinely violates the natural rights that form the foundation of American liberty. This isn't just academic theory - it's happening in courtrooms and legislative chambers across America right now. The book's premise challenges both liberal and conservative orthodoxies by asserting that our fundamental rights exist completely independent of government recognition. When the state attempts to restrict these natural rights, it becomes not a protector but an oppressor. Our fundamental rights don't originate from government - they exist naturally as part of our humanity. This Natural Law tradition, championed by thinkers from Thomas Aquinas to Thomas Jefferson, holds that certain "self-evident truths" transcend human legislation. Just as gravity operates regardless of congressional approval, our natural rights to life, liberty, and property exist independent of government recognition. This perspective directly challenges Positivism - the dangerous philosophy that "law is whatever the government says it is." Under Positivism, rights become mere privileges granted by the state, revocable whenever convenient. This framework has justified history's greatest atrocities by claiming legal legitimacy despite moral bankruptcy.
