Holder: Obama Can Target US Citizens on US Soil for Killing

90. as "constitutional scholars" go, Turley is third rate, at best

He doesn't even teach constitutional law. To the best of my knowledge he's never argued a case before the Supreme Court. Check lists of Constitutional Scholars -- not ones published on blogs, but ones published based on peer based review or on the number of times being cited in law review articles. Turley's name doesn't show up.

Turley is, and always has been someone who is good at getting himself interviewed on TV and quoted in the press, but isn't in any way one of the nation's leading constitutional lawyers. If you want a respected constitutional scholar who also appears in the media, look at Laurence Tribe. If you want a guy who takes positions designed to get him attention, like supporting Clinton's impeachment, or describing Sotomayor as not being t brilliant enough to be on the Court or agreeing that the second amendment creates an individual right to gun ownership.
