House hires Turley as lead counsel in suit against Obama

◼ “Unilateral, unchecked Executive action is precisely the danger that the Framers sought to avoid in our constitutional system” - Le-gal In-sur-rec-tion

News recently broke that George Washington University constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley has been tapped as lead counsel by the U.S. House of Representatives in their lawsuit against President Obama.

Turley has been on the national legal scene for a number of years, but has been gaining increasing notoriety of late as a result of his Congressional testimonies and media appearances regarding the consolidation of constitutional authority in the Executive Branch.

Conservatives have been quick to praise Turley, as his criticisms of the Executive have been directed toward President Obama for the last six years. Turley, however, makes no representation that he is any way politically conservative. Indeed, in his blog post yesterday, he declared quite the opposite....

Turley is, in my opinion, a great choice by House Republicans.
