"Turley stated President Bush committed an illegal act that could be an impeachable offense."


Didn't see it. Exactly what did Turley state?


I saw a few moments of Turley, on C-Span yesterday, giving the raspberry to both John Roberts and Samuel Alito.

He seems to be getting a bit vociferous lately. Perhaps he is tired of being a professor and is grooming himself for a federal courts appointment.

Basically stated what I wrote. What President Bush did was illegal and could be an impeachable offense, though he doubted President Bush would be impeached over this.

Just visited Turley's website. For someone so highly acclaimed and knowledgable in the law, his website is third-rate - at best. The Contact link does not allow the user to send him any email, only brings up Turley's bio. Must be nice to spout off and not listen to any feedback.

Turley said, the President has admitted to a federal crime in his view of Presidential powers. He believes the statute requires a warrant eventually. The law professor and Bill disagreed.

I do not believe the word impeachment was said by Turley. Only Bill talked about it not being an impeachable offense.

I liked him when he was assuring us how important and real a crime perjury is. Frankly, I liked that because President Clinton was being called a big liar, which he is. But early on after 9/11, I realized Turley is an absolutist about civil liberties stuff, arguing that no terrorism case should be removed from the civilian courts. That's a ridiculously absolutist position. This issue is less extreme than that, so I knew in advance where he would come down.

Even when I kind of liked Turley, that hair made me very nervous.
