You need to wake up. The past three years Boehner has caved and capitulated to the Democrats and now all of a sudden you think he’s gonna bear down on this administration by hiring a well known liberal lawon yer to represent the GOP. I don’t buy any of this. Jonathan Turley is a great lawyer but why a Democrat? We have good legal representation in the GOP. We don’t need a hired gun from the other side. What, was Jay Sekulow too busy? Mark Levine didn’t return the message? The Landmark Legal Foundation was on vacation? Oh, these are conservatives. The speaker won’t waste his time with people who have a “Tea Party” association. Face it this was all for show so people on our side will think Bonehead is being proactive. It will all lead to nothing.
I have been reading through Barry’s “Constitutional Law” materials for some of the classes he taught. The NYTimes, had some fawning Legal ‘minds’ profess his intellect and thoughtfulness that was evident in his class materials. I wonder why the MSM feels the need to “prop” Barry up?
One of his questions he references Justice Scalia. The exams are typical of what Barry focuses on, radial division/disparity and same-sex issues.
As a lay person with some legal training, His questions and reasoning IMHO was average. I’d love to know the opinion of any Freeper Attorneys.

Smart choice but not because he is a liberal. It is smart because he is a true believer in the separation of powers and his presence as an advocate for the House gives the entire thing an air of bipartisanship which th e moderates are in love with.
“We have plenty of qualified, articulate people on the bench, ready to make a name for themselves “
That’s a fair point. SC cases are a team effort I do hope some conservative young stars are at least on the team.
Really?? Prove it! Produce one paper this fraud has written. Just one!! Scholar my ass.
No he wasn't. Not even close.
Turley’s a weasel - all over TV complaining about how Obama is violating the Constitution and how dangerous it is, but runs the other way as soon as someone even mentions impeachment, the only real remedy for violating the oath of office to ‘faithfully uphold the laws”.......
No one has ever seen any proof that BO was a “constitutional scholar” “Scholar” is the joke word here describing BO.
By contrast, Alan Dershowitz has said that Ted Cruz has a brilliant mind as he taught him at Harvard. Never heard that about BO.
Turkey has been critical of Obama. Recently Turley said Obama is th President Nixon always wanted to be.
No, we just hear it afterward from his “friends and mentors”.
According to the Law office that hired him (the Partner Allison Davis), Barack sat at the desk, his feet up, working on his BOOK and some of the Partners were having a hard time with that. (as in getting paid to write his book at the law office)
Interesting info. So little is out there about what he did and his past. This doesn’t surprise me at all.
They should have fired him.
I am reading these really old articles from the campaign with the cheerleading, fawning media. They spun Obama as a “libertarian”. lol
This one is so BS.
From Cass Sunstein, “The University of Chicago Law School is by far the most conservative of the great American law schools. [Obama] is strongly committed to helping the disadvantaged, but his University of Chicago background shows; he appreciates the virtues and power of free markets.” During an interview in April with the University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds, Sunstein elaborated: “On the mortgage and credit market crises, he has been against Hillary Clinton’s freeze [on interest rates] and he’s been in favor of increased disclosure to make the market work. So if we could compare Clinton and Obama on some issues, you’ll notice that he is more libertarian and more disclosure focused, where she is somewhat more mandate focused.”
lol considering his insurance “mandate”.
Harvard Economics wouldn’t give him the time of day as to an Economics advisor for his Senate campaign. (I wonder why no Harvard Policy Wonks wanted to be associated with his campaign in 2004? Related to his work/non work at Harvard?)
. “When Obama ran for the U.S. Senate in 2004, his campaign needed an economics adviser. “They called all these people from Harvard—no one would give them the time of day,”
