I remember when Jonathan Turley became "famous." It was during the whole Clinton impeachment brouhaha and he was the pro-impeachment legal expert arguing that Clinton need not have committed a crime. His expertise was environmental law
He argued against environmental regulations. He was not an impeachment or constitutional law expert, but he was the most important thing, available. Always available. And he said what they wanted to hear - impeach Clinton.
Of course, he was against impeaching Trump who actually committed crimes because moral malleability is the primary qualification of being a Republican lawyer. But seriously, I never thought he was as ignorant as he showed himself to be today.
Civil Rights Movement leaders were arrested. They were beaten and arrested. Jonathan Turley turns history on its head to defend the tactics of the truckers, whose "civil disobedience" was not marching in the streets but shutting down the economy. There is no equivalence.
The only consistency in Jonathan Turley is that he is always an asshole.
