"The radical change in the relationship of the federal government to
individual Americans was ratcheted up greatly in the Progressive Era,"
argues Judge Andrew Napolitano in his new book, Theodore and Woodrow:
How Two American Presidents Destroyed Constitutional Freedom.
The first decades of the 20th century saw an assault on individual
liberties that was both unconstitutional and unprecedented in American
history. From crackdowns on freedom of speech to the seizures of vast
swaths of land, Judge Napolitano shows how the policies of two
presidents from opposing parties laid the groundwork for a century of
ever-expanding federal power.
Judge Napolitano is chief legal analyst for Fox News, a syndicated
columnist, and a Reason contributor (read his archive here). He recently
sat down with Nick Gillespie to talk about his latest book and discuss
the relevance of the Progressive era - a time of prohibition, military
expansionism, and vilification of wealth - to today's political
struggles.
