Jonathan Turley makes me want to vomit

He's a law professor at GW, and he's taking Trump's side on this. He's saying that Trump's order is constitutional, and that Yates was wrong in what she did.

Morning Joe is doing all that it can to normalize Trump.

Scabs went off earlier on Obama basically blaming this ban on him. Mina and the whole panel just sat staring like deer in the headlights.

Misguided, sloppy, and reckless were three adjectives I heard him use today.

There's no way it's legal . . . I don't believe it's constitutional either, particularly in context, but that's a closer question.

On edit:

Either way, Yates is a hero

He also laughed uncontrollably over the weekend when the actual reporters asked him if the statements by Trump and Spicer and Ghouliani that this was a muslim ban would have any bearing on the courts, and he said that is what is putting all of the Justice lawyers in the fetal position.

Yesterday he kept saying on CNN that Yates shouldn't have objected to the philosophic underpinning of the EO but to its unconstitutionality and that she therefore was just as wrong as Trump and not a hero. Fuck him.

As first he was on CNN. They did not want to hear his shit and he was RIGHTFULLY CHALLENGED so, now he jumped on Morning Puke to spew his BS for the Reichstag Trump Administration.
