>>Please--Turley is a joke. Only to invincibly ignorant Clinton shills. Of course you hate Turley because he is so well respected and a Democrat, such a highly unusual combination in the age of Clinton that it's an event. btw, our "Do-Nothing Legal" President has had two Cabinet meetings this year, one in which he lied to them and the other in which he "apologized" and defended lying to them in the first meeting. So far this year Clinton has spent 152 days fundraising. So much corruption and so little time!

Since when is Turley a joke? That's news to me. He's been universally hailed as an unbiased constitutional scholar. Is this not a correct depiction? (And I don't care whose phone calls he returns.)

DoughBoy lies: >>His own law students are openly mocking his self-aggrandizing buffoonery. It was reported that last week one of his students tested out a theory. That's a lie. Glaze was not his student. And only two jerks were mentioned. Turley would not comment about Glaze's mini-hoax. Instead, he referred a reporter to a pair of memos he sent Glaze in which Turley stated he had no record of Glaze's call. He also wrote that even though the week in question was particularly hectic -- his wife gave birth to a son and there were numerous court filings in a Monica Lewinsky-related legal case -- he was still able to meet with students. And since Glaze has never been a student of Turley's, he's hardly obliged to make time for him. search.washingtonpost.com btw, Glaze though thoroughly partisan, ain't much of a law student: "Turley was saying that Clinton should be impeached for conduct incompatible with his job -- like lying to staffers -- even if the president didn't violate any laws," Glaze recalls. That struck Glaze, a Clinton supporter, as profoundly galling Turley was explaining that Clinton lied to his staffers knowing that they would repeat those lies when they testified under oath - which they did. Turley said that was subversion of our system of justice. Turley's nonstop exposure has also irked other GWU professors, who are privately grumbling that his punditry on the scandal is woefully shabby and a bit of an embarrassment to the school. As others have pointed out, Turley isn't exactly an expert on constitutional matters; he has spent the bulk of his career focusing on environmental law and torts. Professional jealousy by partisan Dems no doubt. If true, why aren't they named? Because they and the author prefer their McCarthyite tactics. Their goal? To trash and silence an esteemed professor of law. What disgusting thugs.
