Executive Limits: For those in and out of the administration who dismissed the House lawsuit against the president for unconstitutional and illegal action, the naming of Jonathan Turley as lead attorney means game on.
Coming as President Obama prepares to extend his lawlessness and war on the Constitution by granting de facto amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, the timing of George Washington University law professor and constitutional scholar Turley being named lead attorney in the House lawsuit against the president is exquisite.
Though he is a supporter of Obama and his policies, Turley is not a party hack as Jonathan Gruber is. He is a respected constitutional scholar and Democrat who is not willing to stand by as the Constitution, the document that gave birth and life to the world's oldest representative republic, is shredded as part of Obama's fundamental transformation of America. Unlike some of his contemporaries and most of the mainstream media, he took the House lawsuit seriously.
The president's handling of ObamaCare is only one of the extralegal excesses of this administration that Turley warned about when he testified before the House Judiciary Committee. He called Obama's vow to rule by executive order "one of the greatest challenges to our constitutional system in the history of this country" and one that "threatens a fundamental change in how our country is governed."
"The question represented by this lawsuit," Turley wrote Monday on his blog, "is whether we will live in a system of shared and equal powers, as required by our Constitution, or whether we will continue to see the rise of a dominant executive with sweeping unilateral powers. That is a question worthy of review and resolution in our federal courts."

Turley is a lying fraud.
Not once have I ever heard Turley even hint that Obama should be removed from office.
If a Conservative did 1/100th the damage to the Constitution, Turley would be ranting and screaming for impeachment.
Turley is an evil man. He fully supports the all powerful State being pushed by the evil left.
Turley is and will always be part of the evil left.
His pronouncements about the Constitution are correct yet inside he is 100% in agreement with what Obama is doing to the Constitution and our Republic.
The cognitive dissonance of Turley is something to behold.
One of the major requirements of a good party member is doublethink, the ability to hold two opposite concepts as both true, and use each one when called for to benefit the party.
A true party member does this unconciously.
There is only one way to stop this, and it is all spelled out in the document they used to hold dear.
BTTT
I think it is because they should not be taking Obola to court in the first place. Congress should be impeaching him. Why should a court be asked to do the work that Congress is to chickensh*t to do itself?
Yep, it’s sad that not any have come forward.
The traitor bastard deserves a traitor's noose
I agree. Obama-Sortero should be impeached and removed from office. I think this lawsuit is only being pursued because the Republican leadership refuse to honor the oath of office they all swore.
And thank you, FRiend, for your service.
