Looks like some dyed-in-the-wool liberals are starting to worry about Obama's unprecedented power grab. This professor, like most liberals, doesn't have any problem with what Obama is doing, but doesn't like the way he is doing it. Our constitution is in danger and we know now that Obama wasn't kidding about the fundamental changes he intended to make to our country. While all presidents have used executive orders, they respected the limits placed on them. Obama is trying to legislate through force, without the involvement of congress. The parties have always battled over the right things to do for the country, but Obama has decided that he isn't interested in debate, explaining his position or even including congress in the process. He's going to do as he wishes whether there is support from either side or not. That makes him dangerous because our constitution means nothing to him.

On top of all that, Turley makes a solid point that just because he might agree with much of the work Obama is doing doesn't mean he should tolerate the President's unconstitutional means of doing so:
"The fact that I happen to think the president is right on many of these policies does not alter the fact that I believe the means he is doing is wrong, and that this can be a dangerous change in our system. And our system is changing in a very fundamental way. And it's changing without a whimper of regret or opposition."
