“And the judiciary is the branch that decides what the law means, what the Constitution means and how it should be interpreted,” the former judge continued, “rather than these threats about locking up the attorney general.'

Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano does not believe Democrats should hold William Barr in contempt for refusing to testify before Congress, referring to calls to lock up the attorney general as “absurd.”

Attorney General William Barr gestures as he testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 1 in Washington, D.C. Win McNamee/Getty Images Although Barr testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, he declined to attend a scheduled appearance before the House Judiciary Committee after Democrats motioned to have their legal staffers question the attorney general. Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat from New York, has threatened to hold Barr in contempt and several prominent Democratic lawmakers have called for Barr to be arrested.
