Law Professor: Obama’s the President Nixon Always Wanted to Be

Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley may agree with President Obama on some issues, but as he made clear to Sean Hannity Tuesday night, he is going over-the-top in abusing his executive power and throttling the very idea of governmental checks and balances.

He said that in the Bowe Burgdahl case and others, the president has shown that he just “would not comply with federal law.” Turley noted how this is dangerously becoming an “imperial presidency, an über-presidency… where the president can act unilaterally.” And, to Turley, Obama just won’t comply with some of the limits on his authority.

In fact, Turley thinks that Obama’s abuse of power is so serious, he said that Obama is “the president Richard Nixon always wanted to be.” Oof.
