Turley says we have been pushed deep into a constitutional crises. The scourge of the Consitution is a maximum leader. This is going to be sickening.
GEEZ. You'd think they could rent a decent meeting room someplace.
"It's not a real hearing, but we held it at a Holiday Inn Express!"
Turley REALLY hurt himself by showing up at this joke of a hearing
Lawyers Question Evidence in Terror Case
Washington (AP) - Lawyers for an Islamic scholar and a Fort Lauderdale computer programmer want federal judges to determine whether evidence used against their clients was gathered by a secret domestic spying program.
Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor, said Wednesday there "seems to be a great likelihood" that Ali al-Timimi, a northern Virginia Islamic cleric convicted for exhorting followers after the Sept. 11 attacks to wage war against U.S. troops overseas, was "subject to this operation."
Attorney Kenneth Swartz of Miami said he wants to know whether any evidence was gathered by the National Security Agency without a warrant and used to convince a secret court to authorize six years of wiretaps of his client, Adham Amin Hassoun.

Turley is picking up the Bushitler line. Why would he lend himself to this farce?
He may or may not be conducting a tutorial, but Jonathan Turley's very presence at this "pretend" hearing is offensive to me.......I had thought him better than this. He's now on my list along w/Bob Barr as no longer admirable.
Why would he lend himself to this farce?
Read post 64. His clients are terrorists.
Because one of his clients is a terrorist
Turley is showing his true colors for all of you out there that didn't know what type of person he really was.
Got it. I think he just jumped the shark. He states conclusively that the President has broken the law and has exceeded his authority. The only authority he admits to is FISA.
What's the toll free number to the capital. I'm calling Nadlers office and anyone else on this panel.
And that is a load of BS .. FISA does not have authority over the President of the United States
That can be said of the rest of the so-called witnesses as well.
Congress cannot diminish the inherent powers of the Executive Branch. And vice versa.
US capitol toll free - 1-877-762-8762
U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515 (202) 224-3121 TTY: (202) 225-1904
Well all but Richard Hersh.
Thanks. I keep getting a weird busy on the toll free number.
Who could go no lower.
Or has CSPAN chosen this pretend hearing as the most important thing to cover LIVE right now.
