Leading Liberal Law Professor Jonathan Turley Joining Republicans’ Lawsuit Against Obamacare

11.18.2014 | News | Jerome Hudson |

Jonathan Turley voted for Obama in 2008, and now he’s agreed to represent House Republicans as lead counsel in their lawsuit against the president.

Jonathan Turley is a widely respected liberal George Washington University legal scholar. I mention Turley’s support of liberalism and the president because it suggests just how dangerous he believes President Obama has become.

“I have agreed to represent the United States House of Representatives in its challenge of unilateral, unconstitutional actions taken by the Obama Administration with respect to implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA),” Turley wrote in a blog post. “It is an honor to represent the institution in this historic lawsuit and to work with the talented staff of the House General Counsel’s Office. As in the past, this posting is meant to be transparent about my representation as well as my need to be circumspect about my comments in the future on related stories.”

Turley’s announcement came just as a new Gallup poll found that Obamacare support is at a new low among the American people. Just 37 percent say they approve of the Un-Afforable Care Act. That’s a full percentage point below the previous low in January. Another 56 percent disapprove of Obamacare. And that’s a new high in disapproval.

That Gallup poll was taken just days before several tapes emerged showing Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber calling Americans clueless about Obamacare.

Support for the healthcare law is likely to fall again.
