Since he sometimes appears on Fox we will get the usual suspects dismiss all of this based solely on that, despite the fact he has never voted for Trump and has been a lifelong Democrat.

He nails it. Spells out exactly how the left is trying to use the courts to deny millions their right to vote for their chosen candidate for President. This is why even many prominent Democrats are running away from this un-American tactic by Democrats.

He is one of the few prominent Democrats who have not sold out to the Marxists who have ruined the Party.
 
Not one of Trump's lackeys so he has "ethics".

Dotard & ethics is a farce. Trump never had an ethical thought in his life so you're full of shit. And so is Turdley.

Turley is a right wing idiotic sock puppet.

He has never been a Democrat. He advised Republicans that they could impeach Obama even though he has committed no crime. He then said that Trump had to be convicted of a crime before he could be impeached.

Yep. Not a one of the leftists here will have any reasoned, logical, or authenticated rebuttal to Turley's take on it--the man is a Constitutional expert on a par with the best--but they will attack him with their usual immature childish insults and characterizations or express their TDS or MAGA hate. You can count on it.

But Turley is spot on and singing my song.

You seem to be full of shit, as usual.

Turley in 2016
In appearances on Countdown with Keith Olbermann and The Rachel Maddow Show, he called for criminal prosecution of Bush administration officials for war crimes, including torture.[31]

In USA Today in October 2004, he argued for the legalization of polygamy,[32] provoking responses from writers such as Stanley Kurtz.[33][34]

He has opined that the Supreme Court is injecting itself into partisan politics.[35] He frequently has expressed the view that recent[when?] nominees to the court hold extreme views.[36][dead link][37][dead link]

In October 2006, in an interview by Keith Olbermann of MSNBC, he expressed strong disapproval of the Military Commissions Act of 2006.[38] Commenting on the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which he contends does away with habeas corpus, Turley says, "It's something that no one thought—certainly I didn't think—was possible in the United States. And I am not too sure how we got to this point. But people clearly don't realize what a fundamental change it is about who we are as a country. What happened today changed us."[38]

When the U.S. Senate was about to vote on Michael Mukasey for U.S. attorney general, Turley said, "The attorney general nominee's evasive remarks on 'water-boarding' should disqualify him from the job."[39] On the treatment of terrorism suspect José Padilla, Turley says, "The treatment of Padilla ranks as one of the most serious abuses after 9/11... This is a case that would have shocked the Framers. This is precisely what many of the drafters of the Constitution had in mind when they tried to create a system of checks and balances." Turley considers the case of great import on the grounds that "Padilla's treatment by the military could happen to others."[40]

Turley has said, "It is hard to read the Second Amendment and not honestly conclude that the Framers intended gun ownership to be an individual right."[41]

When Congressional Democrats asked the Justice Department to investigate the CIA's destruction of terrorist interrogation tapes Turley said, "these are very serious allegations, that raise as many as six identifiable crimes ranging from contempt of Congress, to contempt of Justice, to perjury, to false statements."[42]

Turley disagrees with the theory that dealing with bullies is just a part of growing up, claiming that they are "no more a natural part of learning than is parental abuse a natural part of growing up" and believes that "litigation could succeed in forcing schools to take bullying more seriously".[43]

He has written extensively in opposition to the death penalty, noting, "Human error remains a principal cause of botched executions... eventually society will be forced to deal directly with a fundamental moral question: Has death itself become the intolerable element of the death penalty?"[44]

He is a critic of special treatment for the church in law, asking why there are laws that "expressly exempt faith-based actions that result in harm."[45]

On October 11, 2016, Libertarian Party candidate for President, Gary Johnson, announced that if he was elected President, Turley would be one of his two top choices for the Supreme Court seat that remained open following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.[46] Turley has been repeatedly named as a top pick for the Court by libertarian presidential candidates, including in 2020.[47]

In a 2017 column for The Hill, Turley was critical of military intervention in the Middle East and questioned its constitutionality. He also mentioned that he supported the Supreme Court nomination of Neil Gorsuch.[48]


In the wake of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Turley argued that, despite his doubts that fraud existed, Americans should welcome the involvement of the courts to vet and validate the election results.[49]

  • Professor Turley does not necessarily march to the beat of Trump’s drum. During his testimony Wednesday, he said that he did not vote for the president and that he has previously voted for Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
 
To achieve this end, advocates are willing to adopt the type of ballot-cleansing powers long associated with authoritarian countries such as Iran.

Yet it was Republicans who passed the law and enforced it.
