Turley: Obama's "Become The Very Danger The Constitution Was Designed To Avoid"

Video at the Page Link:

REP. BOB GOODLATTE (R-VA): Professor Turley, the constitution, the system of separated powers is not simply about stopping one branch of government from usurping another. It's about protecting the liberty of Americans from the dangers of concentrated government power. How does the president's unilateral modification of act of Congress affect both the balance of power between the political branches and the liberty interests of the American people?

JONATHAN TURLEY: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The danger is quite severe. The problem with what the president is doing is that he's not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system. He's becoming the very danger the Constitution was designed to avoid. That is the concentration of power in every single branch.

This Newtonian orbit that the three branches exist in is a delicate one but it is designed to prevent this type of concentration. There is two trends going on which should be of equal concern to all members of Congress. One is that we have had the radical expansion of presidential powers under both President Bush and President Obama. We have what many once called an imperial presidency model of largely unchecked authority. And with that trend we also have the continued rise of this fourth branch. We have agencies that are quite large that issue regulations. The Supreme Court said recently that agencies could actually define their own or interpret their own jurisdiction.

Watch Trey Gowdy's Explosive Question About Obama Vaporize This Stammering Witness

South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy has a history of embarassing witnesses who refuse to be forthright on serious issues. Yesterday’s hearing, “The President’s Constitutional Duty to Faithfully Execute the Laws” was no exception.

Gowdy embarasses the stammering witness with one simple question: If the president can ignore provisions of immigration law, marijuana law, mandatory minimum sentencing law, and the “Affordable Care Act,” then what prevents the president from ignoring election laws?

The witness Simon Lazarus was unable to satisfactorily answer Gowdy’s pointed question, so he turned to nationally recognized scholar Jonathan Turley. He was “not sure” what the Congressional remedy was for the president’s failure and refusal to enforce duly passed laws. Professor Turley then called the escalating problem, “The most serious Constitutional crisis, I view, in my lifetime.”

Constitutional Scholars Criticize Constitutional Scholar Obama’s Abuse Of The Constitution

December 5, 2013 by Sam Rolley

During Congressional hearings concerning Presidential powers and President Barack Obama’s non-enforcement of certain provisions included in the Affordable Care Act Tuesday, George Washington University Professor of Public Interest Law Johnathon Turley told lawmakers that Obama has become the “very danger the Constitution was designed to avoid.”
Turley testified before the House Judiciary Committee that the President has “an undeniable pattern of circumventing Congress in the creation of new major standards, exceptions, or outright nullifications.”
This, the professor said, has given rise to a fourth branch of government where massive agencies are free to determine their own jurisdictions.
From Turley’s testimony:

The danger is quite severe. The problem with what the president is doing is that he’s not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system. He’s becoming the very danger the Constitution was designed to avoid. That is the concentration of power in every single branch.
This Newtonian orbit that the three branches exist in is a delicate one but it is designed to prevent this type of concentration. There is two trends going on which should be of equal concern to all members of Congress. One is that we have had the radical expansion of presidential powers under both President Bush and President Obama. We have what many once called an imperial presidency model of largely unchecked authority. And with that trend we also have the continued rise of this fourth branch. We have agencies that are quite large that issue regulations. The Supreme Court said recently that agencies could actually define their own or interpret their own jurisdiction.

Turley is one of several Constitutional law experts to criticize the Presidents abuse of the Constitution during the hearings.
Nicholas Rosenkranz, a constitutional law professor at Georgetown University Law Center, said that the President has also changed the scope of the government’s prosecutorial discretion, particularly with regard to illegal immigrants.
“This is a scale of decision making that is not within the traditional conception of prosecutorial discretion,” Rosenkranz said.
As we previously reported, Michael Cannon, Director of Cato’s Health Policy Studies, said that the President’s failure to adhere to laws could give American citizens justification to follow suit in seeking to improve government on their own terms.
“There is one last … thing to which the people can resort if the government does not respect the restraints that the Constitution places on the government,” Cannon told lawmakers. “Abraham Lincoln talked about our right to alter our government or our revolutionary right to overthrow it.

Congressman Fears Obama Could Suspend Election Laws.

Posted on 6 December, 2013 by Dylan



(PAUL JOSEPH WATSON)

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) fears that the Obama administration’s refusal to enforce immigration laws could lead to Obama himself failing to enforce election laws, a concern voiced amidst calls by some for Obama to run for a third term in office.
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing yesterday, Gowdy asked Simon Lazarus, senior counsel to the Constitutional Accountability Center, “If the president can fail to enforce immigration laws, can the president likewise fail to enforce election laws?”
Lazarus responded “no,” to which Gowdy shot back, “Why not? If he can suspend mandatory minimum and immigration laws, why not election laws?”
“Because we live in a government of laws, and the president is bound to obey them and apply them,” Lazarus answered. Gowdy responded by reiterating that Obama was not applying immigration and marijuana laws, a stance with which Lazarus disagreed.
Gowdy subsequently asked George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley what the likelihood of the administration suspending election laws was, to which Turley responded, “I think that some of these areas I can’t imagine to be justified through prosecutorial discretion. It’s not prosecutorial discretion to go into a law and say, an entire category of people will no longer be subject to the law. That’s a legislative decision.”
Turley added that the country was currently embroiled in “the most serious constitutional crisis in my lifetime” and that Congress was becoming increasingly irrelevant.
Concern about the Obama administration’s failure to enforce election laws arrives in the aftermath of a Washington Post editorial by Jonathan Zimmerman, a professor of history and education at New York University, which caused controversy by advocating that Obama run for a third term in order to avoid being made a scapegoat by critics within his own party.
Despite acknowledging Obama’s record low approval ratings, Zimmerman asked, “If Obama could run again, would he be facing such fervent objections from Sens. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Robert Menendez (D-N.J.)?”
“Probably not. Democratic lawmakers would worry about provoking the wrath of a president who could be reelected. Thanks to term limits, though, they’ve got little to fear,” he added.
Under the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, a President is limited to two terms in office.
Zimmerman’s argument caused understandable consternation amongst conservatives, some of whom expressed the fear (which is somewhat routine when any president is coming to the end of his term), that the stage was being set for some kind of engineered crisis that would be exploited to justify a third term for Obama.

MERCEDES HUGLEY, one of Obama’s many white, female conquests while at Harvard. Filed sexual assault charges against Obama for date rape in 1990. Because “date rape” was not considered a crime like it is today, she ended up dropping the charges. Two years later, she was found dead of an apparent cocaine overdose.

TAMIKA HILL – A former secretary for Obama’s office in Chicago was murdered July 6, 2005 at a rib shack in the south side.
