What??? Jonathan Turley is lead counsel in the GOP suit against the President?

[Laurian]

I thought he was one of the good guys. Why would he involve himself in this crap?

[shraby]

1. If you've ever listened to him much, you can detect an undercurrent

of conservatism in what he says. He's not to be trusted muchly.

[Spazito]

2. Good guy? Not in the least...

He is a self-promoting jackass, the repubs had to reach into the bottom of the barrel after two law firms bailed on them knowing the claim is beyond ridiculous.

3. IIRC, he was in favor of Clinton's impeachment as well.

As far as I can tell he's more of a libertarian than a liberal. Also, taking this job guarantees lots and lots of publicity for him.

6. He hasn't worked on the air much since Olbermann isn't on MSNBC.

He's on Lawrence O'Donnell once in a while.

[Laurian]

7. I guess that is what gave me the impression he was a good guy. I was an avid

Olbermann fan. Come to think of it, I haven't seen much of him lately. Maybe he is just looking for a way into the spotlight. Ugh...

4. He is a self promoter(mediawhore). He is proof that law degrees are handed out without discretion.

[Laurian]

8. While your characterization of Turley may be correct, I have to

disagree with your generalization about lawyers. My son is a lawyer and I'm very proud of his integrity, character and accomplishments.

5. Nope. Just another libertarian Johnny Dumbass going after Obama...nt

9. NO major firm would touch this dog of a case

Two major firms turned this case down. It is hard for a law professor to match the resources of a major firm. This is a sure sign that this case is a weak case

10. Like all Libertarians, he's Republican to the core.

11. so he can bill a ridiculous fee for many hours of work
