Early life and education edit

Turley grew up in a politically active Chicago family as the youngest of five children. His father, John (Jack) Turley was an international architect, partner at Skidmore, Owens, and Merrill, and the former associate of famed modernist architect Mies van der Rohe. Turley has written about his father's influence on his constitutional theories.[10] His mother, Angela Piazza Turley, was a social worker and activist who was the former president of Jane Addams Hull-House in Chicago. He is of Irish and Italian ancestry.[11]

Turley served as a House leadership page in 1977 and 1978 under the sponsorship of Illinois Democrat Sidney Yates.[12]

He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago in 1983, and a Juris Doctor degree from Northwestern University School of Law in 1987. He served as Executive Articles Editor of Northwestern University Law Review.

During the Reagan Administration, Turley worked as an intern with the general counsel’s office of the National Security Agency (NSA).[13][14]

Career edit

 
Testifying to Congress, 2007

Turley holds the Shapiro Chair for Public Interest Law at The George Washington University Law School, where he teaches torts, criminal procedure, and constitutional law. He is the youngest person to receive an academic chair in the school's history. He runs the Project for Older Prisoners (POP),[15][16] the Environmental Law Clinic, and the Environmental Legislation Project.[17]

Prior to joining George Washington University, he was on the faculty of Tulane University Law School.[17]

His articles on legal and policy issues have appeared in national publications; he has had articles published in The New York Times,[18] The Washington Post,[19] USA Today,[20] the Los Angeles Times,[15] and the Wall Street Journal.[21] He frequently appears in the national media as a commentator on a multitude of subjects[22][23] ranging from the 2000 U.S. presidential election controversy to the Terri Schiavo case in 2005.[24] He often is a guest on Sunday talk shows,[22] with more than two-dozen appearances on Meet the Press, ABC This Week, Face the Nation, and Fox News Sunday. He served as a contributor on Countdown with Keith Olbermann from 2003 until 2011 on MSNBC, and later on Current TV[25] in 2011 and early 2012.

Since the 1990s, he has been a legal analyst for NBC News, CBS News, the BBC and Fox News, covering stories that ranged from the Clinton impeachment to presidential elections.[26][17] He is on the board of contributors of USA Today[27] and is a columnist with The Hill.[28] He is currently a legal analyst with Fox News.[29]

Politics edit

 
Turley in 2016

In appearances on Countdown with Keith Olbermann and The Rachel Maddow Show, he called for criminal prosecution of Bush administration officials for war crimes, including torture.[30]

In USA Today in October 2004, he argued for the legalization of polygamy,[31] provoking responses from writers such as Stanley Kurtz.[32][33]

He has opined that the Supreme Court is injecting itself into partisan politics.[34] He frequently has expressed the view that recent [when?] nominees to the court hold extreme views.[35][36]

In October 2006, in an interview by Keith Olbermann of MSNBC, he expressed strong disapproval of the Military Commissions Act of 2006.[37] Commenting on the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which he contends does away with habeas corpus, Turley says, "It's something that no one thought—certainly I didn't think—was possible in the United States. And I am not too sure how we got to this point. But people clearly don't realize what a fundamental change it is about who we are as a country. What happened today changed us."[37]

When the U.S. Senate was about to vote on Michael Mukasey for U.S. attorney general, Turley said, "The attorney general nominee's evasive remarks on 'water-boarding' should disqualify him from the job."[38] On the treatment of terrorism suspect José Padilla, Turley says, "The treatment of Padilla ranks as one of the most serious abuses after 9/11... This is a case that would have shocked the Framers. This is precisely what many of the drafters of the Constitution had in mind when they tried to create a system of checks and balances." Turley considers the case of great import on the grounds that "Padilla's treatment by the military could happen to others."[39]

Turley has said, "It is hard to read the Second Amendment and not honestly conclude that the Framers intended gun ownership to be an individual right."[40]

When Congressional Democrats asked the Justice Department to investigate the CIA's destruction of terrorist interrogation tapes Turley said, "these are very serious allegations, that raise as many as six identifiable crimes ranging from contempt of Congress, to contempt of Justice, to perjury, to false statements."[41]

Turley disagrees with the theory that dealing with bullies is just a part of growing up, claiming that they are "no more a natural part of learning than is parental abuse a natural part of growing up" and believes that "litigation could succeed in forcing schools to take bullying more seriously".[42]

He has written extensively in opposition to the death penalty, noting, "Human error remains a principal cause of botched executions... eventually society will be forced to deal directly with a fundamental moral question: Has death itself become the intolerable element of the death penalty?"[43]

He is a critic of special treatment for the church in law, asking why there are laws that "expressly exempt faith-based actions that result in harm."[44]

On October 11, 2016, Libertarian Party candidate for President, Gary Johnson, announced that if he was elected President, Turley would be one of his two top choices for the Supreme Court seat that remained open following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.[45] Turley has been repeatedly named as a top pick for the Court by libertarian presidential candidates, including in 2020.[46]

In a 2017 column for The Hill, Turley was critical of military intervention in the Middle East and questioned its constitutionality. He also mentioned that he supported the Supreme Court nomination of Neil Gorsuch.[47]

In the wake of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Turley argued that, despite his doubts that fraud existed, Americans should welcome the involvement of the courts to vet and validate the election results.[48]

Obama administration views edit

In another commentary, Turley defended Judge Henry E. Hudson's ruling declaring the individual mandate in health insurance unconstitutional for violating the Commerce Clause of the Constitution: "It's very thoughtful—not a screed. I don't see any evidence this is motivated by Judge Hudson's personal beliefs... Anybody who's dismissing this opinion as a political screed has obviously not read the opinion."[49]

Turley described U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder in an op-ed as President Barack Obama's sin-eater, writing:

For Obama, there has been no better sin eater than Holder. When the president promised CIA employees early in his first term that they would not be investigated for torture, it was the attorney general who shielded officials from prosecution. When the Obama administration decided it would expand secret and warrantless surveillance, it was Holder who justified it. When the president wanted the authority to kill any American he deemed a threat without charge or trial, it was Holder who went public to announce the "kill list" policy. Last week, the Justice Department confirmed that it was Holder who personally approved the equally abusive search of Fox News correspondent James Rosen's e-mail and phone records in another story involving leaked classified information. In the 2010 application for a secret warrant, the Obama administration named Rosen as "an aider and abettor and/or co-conspirator" to the leaking of classified materials. The Justice Department even investigated Rosen's parents' telephone number, and Holder was there to justify every attack on the news media.[50]

In a December 2013 congressional hearing, responding to a question from Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) about presidential power in the Obama administration, Turley said:

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 [sic] 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.[51]

On November 21, 2014, Turley agreed to represent House Speaker John Boehner and the Republican Party in a suit filed against the Obama administration alleging unconstitutional implementation of the Affordable Care Act, specifically the individual mandate.[52] In 2016, the federal court ruled that the Obama Administration violated the separation of powers in ordering billions to be paid to insurance companies without an appropriation of Congress.[53]

Testimony before Congress edit

The conceptual thread running through many of the issues taken on by Turley is that they involve claims of executive privilege. For example, he said that the president's claim of executive authority based on Article Two "would put our system on a slippery slope."[54] He has argued against national security exceptions to fundamental constitutional rights.[35][55]

He is a frequent witness before the House and Senate on constitutional and statutory issues,[56][57] as well as tort reform legislation.[17]

Turley has testified regularly during national controversies. He testified at the confirmation hearings of Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch,[58] Attorney General Loretta Lynch,[59] and Attorney General William Barr.[60] He also testified during the Clinton impeachment hearings.[5] Turley, in his capacity as a constitutional scholar,[61] testified in favor of the Clinton impeachment.[62][63] He was quoted extensively by congressman James Rogan during the Clinton impeachment hearings.[64]

Turley also testified in Congress against President George W. Bush's warrantless domestic surveillance program and was lead counsel in a case challenging it. In regard to warrantless wiretaps he noted that, "Judge Anna Diggs Taylor chastised the government for a flagrant abuse of the Constitution and, in a direct message to the president, observed that there are no hereditary kings in America."[65]

Views on Trump impeachments edit

On December 4, 2019, Turley testified before the House Judiciary Committee regarding the constitutional grounds for presidential impeachment in the impeachment inquiry against then-President Donald Trump, arguing against a Trump impeachment.[4][66][67][68]

In his testimony, Turley objected to the effort to craft articles of impeachment around four criminal allegations: bribery, extortion, obstruction of justice, and campaign finance violations.[69] He argued that the evidence did not meet the standard definitions of those crimes, contrary to the testimony of three witnesses that such legal definitions have always been used as a measure for impeachment deliberations.[69] Turley characterized the charges against Trump as a lowering of impeachment standards to "fit a paucity of evidence and an abundance of anger."[70] The Committee ultimately rejected all four of those articles and adopted the two that Turley argued could be legitimate if proven: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.[71] Where the Committee departed from the testimony was the rejection of Turley's call for more time to develop a more complete record rather than fulfill a promise to impeach by Christmas—an issue that was rekindled by the delay in the submission of the articles to the Senate as new evidence emerged in 2020.[72]

It was observed that his prior reasoning for the impeachment of President Bill Clinton contradicted the opinions he shared against the Trump impeachment.[66][67][68] Turley sought to clarify his positions regarding the two impeachments the next day in an op-ed.[73] Turley noted that in both hearings he stressed that a president could be impeached for non-criminal acts, including abuse of power, and House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler ended the Trump impeachment hearings by quoting him to that effect. He has noted that the only disagreement was the sufficiency of the record and his calling on House to issue subpoenas for key witnesses such as former national security adviser John Bolton.[73] The push for additional time was due in part to Turley's concern that the House was going to impeach a president for going to the courts rather than yielding to congressional demands for witnesses and documents.[74] Given the short period of investigation, Turley objected that such a move would effectively make seeking judicial review as high crime and misdemeanor. He noted that both Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton were able to go all the way to the Supreme Court on their challenges before impeachment.[75] While Turley told the Committee that such judicial opinions were not required to impeach on obstruction, the abbreviated period of investigation undermined the foundation of that article.[76]

Turley was cited by both the White House and House managers in their arguments before the United States Senate in the Trump impeachment trial.[77] During the trial, Turley opposed the White House argument that impeachment requires a criminal allegation.[78] Turley wrote in The Washington Post that "If some of the president’s critics are adopting a far too broad understanding of impeachable offenses, the White House is adopting a far too narrow one."[79]

After the second impeachment of Donald Trump, he said there could not be a trial after Trump left office.[80] Turley's views were also cited on the House floor in Trump's second impeachment in January 2021 in the aftermath of the January 6 United States Capitol attack, particularly his opposition to what he called a "snap impeachment."[81] Turley opposed the decision to forego any hearing to consider the implications of such a rapid impeachment, consider changes to the language, and allow for a formal response from Trump.[82] While Turley said that Trump's conduct could amount to an impeachable offense, he expressed reservations over the specific language of the article on free speech grounds.[82] He condemned Trump's speech before the riot on Twitter when it was still being given and opposed from the outset the challenge to the electoral votes that decided the election in favor of Joe Biden brought by pro-Trump Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives.[83] He argued for a bipartisan, bicameral vote of censure to condemn Trump's words and actions leading up to the riot.[83] Turley declined to represent Trump,[84] but did speak to Republican senators before both the first Trump trial[85] and the second Trump trial.[86]

Awards edit

Turley was ranked as 38th in the top 100 most cited "public intellectuals" (and second most cited law professor) in a 2001 study by Judge Richard Posner of intellectuals referenced in the media and public debates.[87]

In 2005, Turley was given the Columnist of the Year award for Single-Issue Advocacy for his columns on civil liberties by the Aspen Institute[17] and The Week magazine.[88]

In 2008 he was awarded an honorary doctorate of law from John Marshall Law School in recognition of his career as an advocate of civil liberties and constitutional rights.[89]

He was ranked among the nation's top 500 lawyers in 2008.[90] Turley was found to be the second most cited law professor in the country as well as being ranked as one of the top ten military lawyers.[17]

In 2008 his blog was ranked as the top law professor blog and legal theory blog by the American Bar Association Journal survey of the top 100 blogs.[91][92] His work with older prisoners has been honored in various states, including his selection as the 2011 recipient of the Dr. Mary Ann Quaranta Elder Justice Award at Fordham University.[26] He has also been ranked in the top five most popular law professors on Twitter.[93]  He has received other awards including the James Madison award and was declared one of four university fellows at the Utah Valley University in 2019.[26]

Prominent cases edit

Turley has served as counsel in notable cases; representing whistleblowers, military personnel, and a wide range of other clients in national security, environmental, and constitutional law cases. His cases as lead counsel have secured decisions striking down both a federal and a state law,[26] among them:

  • Larry Hanauer, a House Intelligence Committee staff member falsely accused of leaking classified information to The New York Times[94]
  • David Faulk, a whistleblower who revealed abuses at NSA's Fort Gordon surveillance programs[95]
  • Dr. Eric Foretich,[57] in overturning the Elizabeth Morgan Act in 2003[96]
  • Former Judge Thomas Porteous's impeachment trial defense[56] Turley characterized Porteous's chronic bribe-taking as merely being a "moocher", convicted on four articles of impeachment, removed as judge by a Senate vote of 94-2[97][98]
  • Defendants in terrorism cases, including Ali al-Tamimi (the alleged head of the Virginia Jihad/Paintball conspiracy)-[99] On September 1, 2020, a federal court found that his challenges to his conviction had merit and ordered his release to Turley at Supermax in Colorado to drive back to Virginia to avoid risks of Covid-19.[100]
  • Area 51 workers at a secret air base in Nevada.[101][102]
  • Lead counsel in the litigation over the mass arrests at the World Bank/IMF protests in Washington.[103]
  • Turley represented the Rocky Flats grand jury in Colorado[104]
  • Turley testified on December 4, 2019, regarding the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, regarding constitutional issues not supporting the impeachment of Trump.[105]
  • Turley filed a challenge to the Libyan War on behalf of ten members of Congress. The lawsuit was before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.[106]

Maddow Show he called for criminal prosecution of Bush administration officials for war crimes including torture 30 In USA Today in October 2004 he argued for the legalization of polygamy 31 provoking responses from writers such as Stanley Kurtz 32 33 He has opined that the Supreme Court is injecting itself into partisan politics 34 He frequently has expressed the view that recent when nominees to the court hold extreme views 35 36 In October 2006 in an interview by Keith Olbermann of MSNBC he expressed strong disapproval of the Military Commissions Act of 2006 37 Commenting on the Military Commissions Act of 2006 which he contends does away with habeas corpus Turley says It s something that no one thought certainly I didn t think was possible in the United States And I am not too sure how we got to this point But people clearly don t realize what a fundamental change it is about who we are as a country What happened today changed us 37 When the U S Senate was about to vote on Michael Mukasey for U S attorney general Turley said The attorney general nominee s evasive remarks on water boarding should disqualify him from the job 38 On the treatment of terrorism suspect Jose Padilla Turley says The treatment of Padilla ranks as one of the most serious abuses after 9 11 This is a case that would have shocked the Framers This is precisely what many of the drafters of the Constitution had in mind when they tried to create a system of checks and balances Turley considers the case of great import on the grounds that Padilla s treatment by the military could happen to others 39 Turley has said It is hard to read the Second Amendment and not honestly conclude that the Framers intended gun ownership to be an individual right 40 When Congressional Democrats asked the Justice Department to investigate the CIA s destruction of terrorist interrogation tapes Turley said these are very serious allegations that raise as many as six identifiable crimes ranging from contempt of Congress to contempt of Justice to perjury to false statements 41 Turley disagrees with the theory that dealing with bullies is just a part of growing up claiming that they are no more a natural part of learning than is parental abuse a natural part of growing up and believes that litigation could succeed in forcing schools to take bullying more seriously 42 He has written extensively in opposition to the death penalty noting Human error remains a principal cause of botched executions eventually society will be forced to deal directly with a fundamental moral question Has death itself become the intolerable element of the death penalty 43 He is a critic of special treatment for the church in law asking why there are laws that expressly exempt faith based actions that result in harm 44 On October 11 2016 Libertarian Party candidate for President Gary Johnson announced that if he was elected President Turley would be one of his two top choices for the Supreme Court seat that remained open following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia 45 Turley has been repeatedly named as a top pick for the Court by libertarian presidential candidates including in 2020 46 In a 2017 column for The Hill Turley was critical of military intervention in the Middle East and questioned its constitutionality He also mentioned that he supported the Supreme Court nomination of Neil Gorsuch 47 In the wake of the 2020 U S presidential election Turley argued that despite his doubts that fraud existed Americans should welcome the involvement of the courts to vet and validate the election results 48 Obama administration views edit In another commentary Turley defended Judge Henry E Hudson s ruling declaring the individual mandate in health insurance unconstitutional for violating the Commerce Clause of the Constitution It s very thoughtful not a screed I don t see any evidence this is motivated by Judge Hudson s personal beliefs Anybody who s dismissing this opinion as a political screed has obviously not read the opinion 49 Turley described U S Attorney General Eric Holder in an op ed as President Barack Obama s sin eater writing For Obama there has been no better sin eater than Holder When the president promised CIA employees early in his first term that they would not be investigated for torture it was the attorney general who shielded officials from prosecution When the Obama administration decided it would expand secret and warrantless surveillance it was Holder who justified it When the president wanted the authority to kill any American he deemed a threat without charge or trial it was Holder who went public to announce the kill list policy Last week the Justice Department confirmed that it was Holder who personally approved the equally abusive search of Fox News correspondent James Rosen s e mail and phone records in another story involving leaked classified information In the 2010 application for a secret warrant the Obama administration named Rosen as an aider and abettor and or co conspirator to the leaking of classified materials The Justice Department even investigated Rosen s parents telephone number and Holder was there to justify every attack on the news media 50 In a December 2013 congressional hearing responding to a question from Rep Bob Goodlatte R VA about presidential power in the Obama administration Turley said 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 sic 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 51 On November 21 2014 Turley agreed to represent House Speaker John Boehner and the Republican Party in a suit filed against the Obama administration alleging unconstitutional implementation of the Affordable Care Act specifically the individual mandate 52 In 2016 the federal court ruled that the Obama Administration violated the separation of powers in ordering billions to be paid to insurance companies without an appropriation of Congress 53 Testimony before Congress edit The conceptual thread running through many of the issues taken on by Turley is that they involve claims of executive privilege For example he said that the president s claim of executive authority based on Article Two would put our system on a slippery slope 54 He has argued against national security exceptions to fundamental constitutional rights 35 55 He is a frequent witness before the House and Senate on constitutional and statutory issues 56 57 as well as tort reform legislation 17 Turley has testified regularly during national controversies He testified at the confirmation hearings of Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch 58 Attorney General Loretta Lynch 59 and Attorney General William Barr 60 He also testified during the Clinton impeachment hearings 5 Turley in his capacity as a constitutional scholar 61 testified in favor of the Clinton impeachment 62 63 He was quoted extensively by congressman James Rogan during the Clinton impeachment hearings 64 Turley also testified in Congress against President George W Bush s warrantless domestic surveillance program and was lead counsel in a case challenging it In regard to warrantless wiretaps he noted that Judge Anna Diggs Taylor chastised the government for a flagrant abuse of the Constitution and in a direct message to the president observed that there are no hereditary kings in America 65 Views on Trump impeachments edit On December 4 2019 Turley testified before the House Judiciary Committee regarding the constitutional grounds for presidential impeachment in the impeachment inquiry against then President Donald Trump arguing against a Trump impeachment 4 66 67 68 In his testimony Turley objected to the effort to craft articles of impeachment around four criminal allegations bribery extortion obstruction of justice and campaign finance violations 69 He argued that the evidence did not meet the standard definitions of those crimes contrary to the testimony of three witnesses that such legal definitions have always been used as a measure for impeachment deliberations 69 Turley characterized the charges against Trump as a lowering of impeachment standards to fit a paucity of evidence and an abundance of anger 70 The Committee ultimately rejected all four of those articles and adopted the two that Turley argued could be legitimate if proven abuse of power and obstruction of Congress 71 Where the Committee departed from the testimony was the rejection of Turley s call for more time to develop a more complete record rather than fulfill a promise to impeach by Christmas an issue that was rekindled by the delay in the submission of the articles to the Senate as new evidence emerged in 2020 72 It was observed that his prior reasoning for the impeachment of President Bill Clinton contradicted the opinions he shared against the Trump impeachment 66 67 68 Turley sought to clarify his positions regarding the two impeachments the next day in an op ed 73 Turley noted that in both hearings he stressed that a president could be impeached for non criminal acts including abuse of power and House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler ended the Trump impeachment hearings by quoting him to that effect He has noted that the only disagreement was the sufficiency of the record and his calling on House to issue subpoenas for key witnesses such as former national security adviser John Bolton 73 The push for additional time was due in part to Turley s concern that the House was going to impeach a president for going to the courts rather than yielding to congressional demands for witnesses and documents 74 Given the short period of investigation Turley objected that such a move would effectively make seeking judicial review as high crime and misdemeanor He noted that both Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton were able to go all the way to the Supreme Court on their challenges before impeachment 75 While Turley told the Committee that such judicial opinions were not required to impeach on obstruction the abbreviated period of investigation undermined the foundation of that article 76 Turley was cited by both the White House and House managers in their arguments before the United States Senate in the Trump impeachment trial 77 During the trial Turley opposed the White House argument that impeachment requires a criminal allegation 78 Turley wrote in The Washington Post that If some of the president s critics are adopting a far too broad understanding of impeachable offenses the White House is adopting a far too narrow one 79 After the second impeachment of Donald Trump he said there could not be a trial after Trump left office 80 Turley s views were also cited on the House floor in Trump s second impeachment in January 2021 in the aftermath of the January 6 United States Capitol attack particularly his opposition to what he called a snap impeachment 81 Turley opposed the decision to forego any hearing to consider the implications of such a rapid impeachment consider changes to the language and allow for a formal response from Trump 82 While Turley said that Trump s conduct could amount to an impeachable offense he expressed reservations over the specific language of the article on free speech grounds 82 He condemned Trump s speech before the riot on Twitter when it was still being given and opposed from the outset the challenge to the electoral votes that decided the election in favor of Joe Biden brought by pro Trump Republicans in the U S House of Representatives 83 He argued for a bipartisan bicameral vote of censure to condemn Trump s words and actions leading up to the riot 83 Turley declined to represent Trump 84 but did speak to Republican senators before both the first Trump trial 85 and the second Trump trial 86 Awards editTurley was ranked as 38th in the top 100 most cited public intellectuals and second most cited law professor in a

57 in overturning the Elizabeth Morgan Act in 2003 96 Former Judge Thomas Porteous s impeachment trial defense 56 Turley characterized Porteous s chronic bribe taking as merely being a moocher

conspiracy 99 On September 1 2020 a federal court found that his challenges to his conviction had merit and ordered his release to Turley at Supermax in Colorado to drive back to Virginia to avoid
