On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee brought in legal experts with a message of tough love.
They testified that the House — indeed, the whole Congress — was a bunch of lily-livered pushovers, unable to stand up to a bully.
“Recently, Congress has seemed — frankly — feckless and uncertain as to its authority,” testified Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University.
Later on, Turley went further. This wasn’t just weakness.
It was worse. Did Congress actually hate itself?
“For Congress not to act, in my view, borders on self-loathing,” he said.
“If you want to stay relevant as an institution,” said Elizabeth Price Foley, a law professor at Florida International University, “I would suggest that you not stand idly by and let the president take your power away.”

As usual The WaPo cherry picked, and left much out....Turley, no 'right winger' was far more in depth than they let on....
He's right...What should be done is a select joint committee, to gather for impeachment, but this congress will not do that...So, I guess the fundamental change Obama spoke of is taking place...Bid America goodbye.
