Law Prof. Turley: Obama Risks Constitutional Crisis With Executive Action

President Barack Obama is acting like "a bad gambler at Vegas" by doubling down on executive actions less than a week after a stinging Supreme Court defeat, says George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley.

A defiant Obama promised to take even more executive actions on Monday because Congress has told him it will not pass any immigration reform laws this year.

"If House Republicans are really concerned about me taking too many executive actions, the best solution to that is passing bills. Pass a bill. Solve a problem," Obama said in a Rose Garden press conference.

Turley, appearing on Fox News Channel's "Special Report, " called that "a pretty surprising statement" considering that "the ink is barely dry" on Thursday's 9-0 decision saying Obama was wrong to have made recess appointments when the Senate had declared itself to be in session.

"For him now to double down makes him look like a bad gambler at Vegas,"

  1. Obama is holding the entire Republic hostage to his extortionist demands. "Do what I say or I'll go around you on my own" is prima facie extortion and a criminal act. Further proof of tyranny in America. Time to rise up.

  2. Listen to Turley. He may be a liberal, but unlike our current Kenyan WH resident, Turley really is a Constituitional scholar.
