#1 Turley is or was an Obamaite. A credit to him that he still values our Constitution and is not an Obama sycophant.

Unilateral, unchecked Executive action is precisely the danger that the Framers sought to avoid in our constitutional system.

The danger is tyranny and a dictatorship.

#2 From the link:

As many on this blog know, I support national health care and voted for President Obama in his first presidential campaign. ... 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.

And, as Mr. Turley, esq. is also a professor of ConLaw, the temptation was irresistible, regardless of his personal politics.

#3 the original design and guarantees of our Constitution went down the tubes after Fort Sumter was fired on, and we are still sorting that out. Violated treaties (e.g. the Black Hills), various executive orders such as the seizure of privately held gold, negation of contracts containing gold clauses, the unjust robbery and imprisonment of US citizens in internment camps come to mind, all "validated" by the USSC by the way.

#4 I've watched Turley since the Clinton impeachment, and he is a Dem partisan by sentiment. He is also a stronger Constitutional Scholar (unlike that fooking adjunct professor as POTUS) and seems to be really able to do the right thing for the Constitution and America to restore the balance of powers. I actually trust him
