Turley to be Lead Counsel for House Lawsuit Against Champ
The meat of it:In the Madisonian system it is as important how you do something as what you do. And, the Executive is barred from usurping the Legislative Branch’s Article I powers, no matter how politically attractive or expedient it is to do so. Unilateral, unchecked Executive action is precisely the danger that the Framers sought to avoid in our constitutional system. This case represents a long-overdue effort by Congress to resolve fundamental Separation of Powers issues. In that sense, it has more to do with constitutional law than health care law. Without judicial review of unconstitutional actions by the Executive, the trend toward a dominant presidential model of government will continue in this country in direct conflict with the original design and guarantees of our Constitution. Our constitutional system as a whole (as well as our political system) would benefit greatly by courts reinforcing the lines of separation between the respective branches. Americans have no tradition of being ruled, regardless of what B.O and his thugs think. There's a difference between being ruled and governed. It seems to be too subtle and elusive for B.O. to grasp -- either that, or he's never given it a thought.
I shouldn't think it occurred to him that it's a question, though the little people will go on about such things. Perhaps Mr. Turley, esq. will socratically educate him.
