Frankly, most governments are used to lying to each other - to a degree that most people would find shocking. Part of diplomacy is the art of strategic lying.

From Jonathan Turley

People don't seem to understand that the separation of powers is not about the power of these branches; it's there to protect individual liberty - it's there to protect us from the concentration of power.

From Jonathan Turley

There's no question that Roberts will vote like William Rehnquist... If he swings, it will be from right to far right.

From Jonathan Turley

While Congress saw some need to loosen the standard in the initial days of a war, it wanted the president to comply with FISA in carrying out surveillance in the United States.

From Jonathan Turley

Under the common law, one of the more controversial rules is the 'no duty to rescue rule' that says that, if you were not responsible for placing someone in danger or risk, you have no obligation to help them, even when it would cost little to save their life.

From Jonathan Turley

People don't realize that the Obama Administration has been, if anything, harder on whistleblowers than the Bush Administration.

From Jonathan Turley

Few people know that President Obama has used drone attacks many times more than Bush ever did. Obama's off the charts in terms of drone attack.

From Jonathan Turley

There's a misconception about Barack Obama as a former constitutional law professor. First of all, there are plenty of professors who are 'legal relativists.' They tend to view legal principles as relative to whatever they're trying to achieve.

From Jonathan Turley

Law professors like Obama tend to view the law as one means to an end, and others, like myself, tend to view it as the end itself.

From Jonathan Turley
