We often use the end of the year to do a quick review of the state of the blog. Created in 2007, we are approaching our 20th anniversary. It is hard to imagine. We are celebrating the New Year after reaching our 95,000,000 view mark. Our community continues to grow rapidly around the world.
As always, I want to offer special thanks to Darren Smith, who has continued to help manage the blog. I also want to thank our dedicated editors, Kristin Oren and Hartwell Harrison, who continue their amazing work proofing posts on a daily basis to remove my embarrassing typos. Finally, I would like to thank our regular readers for their continued support and contributions.
The growth on Twitter this year has been astonishing. We are now over a million followers on X (formerly known as Twitter). I also started a Facebook site this year called JonathanTurleyUSA. Thousands of new people have signed up for emails, and we have almost 22,000 WordPress subscribers.
This week, we passed 22,675 posts and roughly 1,530,000 comments.
So here are the annual figures. Over the last year, our ten biggest international sources for readers came from:
- United States
2. Canada
3. Australia
4. United Kingdom
5. Germany
6. China
7. Netherlands
8. New Zealand
9. Japan
10. France
The top five posts in terms of traffic in the last year were:
-
- The Reveal: The Public is Finally Learning How Democrats Pulled Off the Greatest Political Trick in History
- “Your Credibility with Me is about None”: CNN Trial Goes From Bad to Worse
- Down But Not Out: The Supreme Court Rules 5-4 Against the Freezing $2 Billion in USAID Funds
- The Chilling Jurisprudence of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
- The Educational Cartel: How Randi Weingarten Finally Said the Quiet Part Out Loud
We are now routinely ranked among the top legal blogs in the world. We have also attracted our share of accolades, including the ABA Journal for its blog Hall of Fame. That is due in large part to our regulars, who add perspectives and passion to the issues that we discuss.
In these trying times, it is nice to have a place (even a virtual one) where you can go to discuss issues from the momentous to the merely odd. I hope you continue to find this site worthy of your time and contributions.
So, here’s hoping for a great year to come for our country, our families, and, yes, our blog in 2026.
Note for John Say.
Did you take into account that; George, Evil Anon, Svelaz, Gigi are using an Onion Proxy, so the ‘China hits’ could actually be your Neighbor up the street.

So that explain a lot of postings here are from anonymous accounts. Most of them have to be a bunch of members of China’s 50¢ Army aka wumaos. That’s the only possible explanation.
. #1. The magic trick, click on it and reread. All the way up the line to Obammer hisself and involving a foreign nation. Nothing happened to any of them. Not Clinton, Brennan, Elias…
😔
God’s clock is not our clock. God founded the US for his purposes over many generations. Be in awe…
It’s not as good as Weasel Zippers was in its heyday but it serves its purpose. Better exposure too with JT as a figurehead. Not as good as Charlie was at waking up the next generation of Americans but not as dangerous either.
. OT. Thoughts about Mandani’s oath with hand on Koran? Legal thoughts, not feelings please.
Still no word about Trump v. Illinois.
Fraud in Walz State, legal responsibility?
As criticism I’d be happier when reading the blog if PT chose one aspect of the case and it’s constitutional tie. Often PT does cite precedent cases for further reading, much appreciated.
I’m not doing anything multicultural today. Just steak and potatoes…
🌲 <—— The British made their ships' masts using our pines.
The Spaniards made their keels and ribs of their galleons from the liveoaks of Florida. When I was a wee lad running wild in the woods, there were still a few mighty oaks with the Kings mark upon them, long plowed under now. No man has ever truly lived until he has run the great swamp and swam and drank of the cool clean waters of the Suwannee River.
Longleaf pines fell victim to ships’ stores. We’re trying to replant these pines to bring them back.
. Think of the Sequoia Gigantias in California’s Sierra Nevada. A few stands were saved. Magnificent trees and they are so very old. Can’t exactly plant those.
True.
I’m flsshing back to 5th grade product maps, and “naval stores,”
^^^^ Googled the oath. Swear or affirm to uphold the Constitution. So much for that
George Washington started the tradition of swearing on the Bible. Perhaps everyone should ask the good lord to help them do that–> so HELP me God to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Breaking an oath, promise or vow was very serious .
^^^ . Freedom of religion and freedom from religion so we got the Koran in NYC. Citizens must regard the law. Personally the moslems are an intrusion in hearts and still the law must be regarded. Any lawful measures must be regarded by each business and individual but so far there isn’t a law that says your domicile is open to the public. So far your domicile is sanctuary.
Not God’s best work…
🌲
OT. Thoughts about Mandani’s oath with hand on Koran? Legal thoughts, not feelings please.
I don’t care in the slightest. The oath is only as meaningful as the willingness of the person taking that oath to actually comply with that oath.
Joe Biden – supposedly devout Catholic – and Obama (apparently devout Baptist) both swore their oaths of office with their hand on a Bible.
The judicial branch couldn’t even get those two religious frauds to comply the Constitution or the teachings within that Bible.
I don’t expect Mandani to do any differently, whether he chooses a Koran or Bible to swear his oath on.
. True. It’s tradition but the oath resonates in the heavens. 1A may not have considered the 1st imperative within the 10. You shall not have other gods before me. Translates — to the land I call mine shall there be other gods. Such as there are now in the US.
Moharmmed is the Biblical false prophet. He might have taken his “oath” beside Twin Towers. He wrote his own oath I think? It was filed with the clerk. Anyone have a copy of that jewel?
Lucky new year one and all.
Although Mamdani’s swearing-in ended with him saying, “So help me God” while his hand was on the Quran, an act I found odd, it isn’t a fresh start—it’s a death certificate for NYC.
Up until perhaps a year ago, I rarely read even a single comment on a blog post, because the signal-to-noise ratio was so abysmally low. And I consider “I love your stuff” as useless noise, along with ad hominem attacks and the written equivalents of “if you lack logic/evidence for your point, yell louder”. When I learned that comments are used as a measure of engagement, I made more of an effort to at least skim the comment section, and occasionally add a comment of my own if I felt I could add a different perspective. While skimming, I look for people coherently expressing a view and explaining why they believe that; I am particularly looking for comments that thoughtfully challenge my current world view and force me to re-examine my supporting frameworks. Unfortunately, such comments are rare, a needle in a haystack of noisy blather.
The early Internet was fairly useless. Everything was getting connected, but search engines were ineffective. When Google first appeared, it seemed magical, like it knew what you were thinking. Old habits die hard, and what would today be called a meme arose, “LMGTFY” as in “Let Me Google That For You”, as a snide response when a question of simple fact was asked on a Usenet forum.
Recent developments in LLM’s promise to be even more revolutionary than Google was for smart searching, so I am making a concerted effort to use them. I asked an LLM to summarize the comments to this blog posting; here is the response:
—
Summary of the comment section (overall tone + main themes)
Most comments are congratulatory – readers praise Turley and the site for reaching the 95,000,000-view milestone, often describing the blog as informative, “civil,” and a dependable alternative to mainstream media.
A smaller but prominent thread turns overtly partisan: one commenter attacks the blog as pro-MAGA propaganda, and multiple replies push back with insults and counter-claims about media bias and Turley’s past criticisms of Trump.
There’s also banter/inside-joke energy typical of long-running comment communities – snarky one-liners, puns (“Professor Turkey”), stylistic jokes about res ipsa loquitur, and a nitpick about the “proofing” sentence in the post itself.
A few comments inject topical political chatter unrelated to the blog stats (e.g., Trump-related sarcasm, and a long quote attributed to Jack Smith about Jan. 6).
—
I then asked the LLM to pick out a couple of comments that a typical reader might find most informative or interesting or well-reasoned, and the LLM crashed and burned. Oh, well, LLMs still have a ways to go, I guess. (In fairness to the LLM, there are indications that it choked on the formatting, not the query or the referenced content itself. I submitted a bug report on it.)
AI is not quite there yet. I’ve noticed AI on YouTube and while sometimes compelling, one can often see through it because the language, while surprisingly good, is not great and wetware can still spot the artificiality. Uniblab ain’t no Shakespeare.
One easy cue is petty repetition. Once an LLM gets in groove, it can’t always escape. It will repeat things like it’s never said them before–an easy spot for a Turing Test. Even the style of writing can come across as repetitive, but that’s harder to spot.
Some AI on YouTube is outright fraud. Yanis Varoufakis and Victor Davis Hanson have both been misrepresented by AI. I’ve gotten to the point where I can sometimes spot the fraud in the thumbnail, but it took a while to pick up on those cues.
Sometimes, a quick disclaimer, almost as sneaky subliminal advertising, will show up and then immediately disappear, admitting the content was altered. That’s an AI admission, but it’s made hard to notice. I suspect the intent is to mislead while maintaining plausible deniability.
My wetware suggests you harbor some hostility to conservatives, but you let AI opine on your behalf. That’s an appeal to authority, which in this case, is bogus (you almost admit as much). Most LLM’s are trained with leftwing propaganda as part of their information base. I’ve seen some absurd examples of that bias from AI–bias so insane it could also serve as a cue.
Try feeding my above comment into AI, and the LLM will probably be dismissive or even derogatory. I stand by my comment, LLMs be darned.
This is one of the better blogs to be found today. Sadly, that really is not nearly as much a compliment as it is commentary on the dismal state of the internet and social media.
JT squints real hard to find a Demoocrat doing stupid stuff. Then he closes his eyes and can’t see the Billions of graft occuring under trump. Yep, JT, a person that is obviously a stable genius, though not as stable or as much a genius as the orange god of course.
How long will trump and his idiot followers blame Biden. The latest BS concerns the Kenedy Center, something that trump caused, but hey, as long as the idiot faithful fall for the BS, keep shoveling it.
“All of this is happening while the Kennedy Center is over budget amid falling ticket sales and major acts canceling shows. Grenell blamed the previous administration.”
LOL
JT squints real hard to find a Democrat doing stupid stuff! Jesus Christ almighty! That takes a truly oblivious mind to put that in writing. Tim Walz DEMOCRAT Governor of Minnesota just let the Democrats Chocolate Jesus transplanted Muslim voting block just steal an estimated $9Billion in tax payers money. Guess JT didn’t have to squint too hard to see that elephant in the room or the 14 Million illegal interlopers destroying America. You’re pathetic at this, go get your green quarter and ballon, maybe even a cookie!
JT squints real hard to find a Demoocrat doing stupid stuff. Then he closes his eyes and can’t see the Billions of graft occuring under trump.
Criminal and police state fascist stuff is just “stupid stuff”????? Biden had FOUR YEARS to find and prosecute Trump for that graft you claim is occurring. Yet you don’t have a single example of a Trump equivalent of the Biden Bribery Laptop.
Not a single Suspicious Activity Report filed by a bank concerning that graft – versus the 150+ SAR’s filed with Obama concerning Biden and his son.
No instances to report of the FBI concealing criminal evidence concerning Trump – as they did for EIGHT years to cover the Bidens, Clintons, etc.
Yep… the genius of the Democrat Borg’s Biden Useful Idiots: “BBBBUUUTTTT…. MUH TRUMP!!!! I WANT MY OVAL OFFICE HOUSE PLANT BACK, MY PRESIDENT AUTO-PEN!!!!”
“JT squints real hard to find a Demoocrat doing stupid stuff. ”
ROFL
There are so many stories about misconduct by democrats that the push each other out of the news.
“Then he closes his eyes and can’t see the Billions of graft occuring under trump.”
On Rogan said that about 5% of the graft he found was by Republican politicians. But that they fought him the hardest.
They were willing to allow democrats to get the 90-95% they were getting so long as their pipeline did not get shutdown.
Regardless the Minesota/Ohio/Maine/Massachusets/Everywhere story about Billions iun Fraud happened under Bother Biden and Trump.
But Trump is doing something about it. Democrats did not.
Regardless so long as the govenrment has power their will be people seeking to rent that power.
The more power govenrment has the more rent seeking there will be.
Absolutely Fraud will be committed does one party commit more than the other – Today that would be democrats.
Was that always so and will it be true in a decade – possibly not.
“How long will trump and his idiot followers blame Biden.”
Until things improve as a result of Trump.
They are already improving.
I have no idea what you are talking about about Kennedy Center.
Frankly Kennedy Center should be sold – There is no reason fo the federal govenrment to fund the arts.
As to budgets – For nearly all of 2025 the Federal Government including Kennedy Center was operating on Biden’s budget.
I’ll continue to blame Biden as long as there are people like you who capitalize the name Trump.
Congratulations on your readership. Your articles are always thoughtful, rational, and fair-minded. I wish when I was at the law school up the street from yours that I could say the same thing about my professors.
President Donald Trump said in an interview Wednesday that construction of his long-teased Triumphal Arch is expected to begin “sometime in the next two months.”
Fantastic, the orange god will live forever.
All Hail Sponge Bob!
Hey did you see Joe Biden’s New Year’s message 🤣🤣🤣🤡
Does he have any idea what year it is?
I like icecream! Joey made a mookie…
Happy New Year…
Finally testimony from Jack Smith on what he found out a out trump and Jim Jordon and the rest of the trump sycophant crowd.
“As I said, our evidence is that he in the weeks leading up to January 6th created a level of distrust,” Smith said. “He used that level of distrust to get people to believe fraud claims that weren’t true. He made false statements to state legislatures, to his supporters in all sorts of contexts and was aware in the days leading up to January 6th that his supporters were angry when he invited them and then he directed them to the Capitol. Now, once they were at the Capitol and once the attacks on the Capitol happened, he refused to stop it. He instead issued a tweet that without question in my mind endangered the life of his own vice president. And when the violence was going on, he had to be pushed repeatedly by his staff members to do anything to quell it. And then, even afterwards, he directed co-conspirators to make calls to Members of Congress, people who had — were his political allies, to further delay the proceedings.”
LOL…thanks
Yes, he also stated that President Trump’s questioning of a fair election was not within the limits of his first amendment rights. Smith needs a new necktie to go with Melania’s stolen panties…
SMITH doesn’t know JACK!!
Finally testimony from Jack Smith on what he found out a out trump and Jim Jordon and the rest of the trump sycophant crowd.
Finally???? That was WEEKS ago. Are you quoting the Obama/Biden’s personal Lavarentiy Beria, Jack Smith, in hopes you can successfully serve as a sycophant for those two police state fascists?
This would be the exact same Jack Smith who previously gave that exact same spiel in 2012? Doing so to justify changing the written and existing state of the law in order to prosecute Governor Bob McDonnell when Obama and Biden ordered Smith to take him out as the likely Republican candidate that would kill their reelection hopes?
Exactly the same Jack Smith who – when he couldn’t lie to SCOTUS like he can lie to gullible Democrat Useless Idiots – was ruled by SCOTUS to have rewritten the existing law to serve Obama’s purposes and wrongfully convict Governor McDonnell, taking him out of the 2012 presidential election campaign?
Same Jack Smith who SCOTUS, in a rare unanimous decision, declared to be what you like to call “a threat to our democracy”?
[Our concern] is instead with the broader legal implications of the Government’s boundless interpretation of the federal bribery statute… and the uncontrolled power of criminal prosecutors is a threat to our separation of power.
Now: you believe that YOU have the credibility to tell those of us here that we should give THAT Jack Smith credibility in what he said in his defense – while he slithered and avoided questions throughout in a manner that would have made Jim Comey proud.
Yeah – you just run with that as hard as you can. You want credibility? Keep going until you get to Rachael Maddow’s blog – they take in stray Democrat liars there.
Oh… and have a 2026 just as equally as successful as your 2024 and 2025 were.
Revisionist history is insufficient, bonehead.
ATS
Creating a level of distrust is not a crime nor is it an element of any crime. – it is something you and democrats do all the time.
And From long before election day through to last week and certainly further into this year, we keep learning more and more excellent reasons to distrust the results of the 2020 election.
We have election laws specifically for the purpose of increasing the level of trust in our elections.
If you do not follow the law you undermine that trust.
And as the declration of independence asserts – when the people can not trust the government they are free to change it – using violence if necescary.
If you want people to trust elections FOLLOW THE LAW.
28 US states have voter ID laws – these were not followed. All states should have voter ID laws.
38 States have Secret Ballot constitutional amendments.
A secret ballot requires
“an official ballot being printed at public expense,
on which the names of the nominated candidates of all parties and all proposals appear,
being distributed only at the polling place and
being marked in secret.”
Zero states in 2020 followed their own constitutional requirement that all voting is by secret ballot.
If you do not like the constitution or the law – CHANGE IT.
No election laws or state constitutional election requirements were changed in 2020,
States just ignored their laws and constitutions and the courts allowed that.
THAT IS WHY SO MANY PEOPLE DID NOT TRUST THE 2020 ELECTION.
I would note that Everything Smith claims Trump did – Hillary did in 2016 and 2017 and we even saw some of that in 2024 and 2024.
It is the right of every american to distrust an election.
It is their right – even if they are wrong.
But it is especially their right when they are right or when there is sufficient uncertainty to have legitimate doubts.
We still have not come close to fixing the mess made of our elections in 2020.
But we are not doing as badly today as we did then.
Next Smith’s claim that Trump did not act has been debunked many many times.
There is hundreds of pages of under oath testimony debunking this nonsense.
And that is despite the fact that according to the law and constitution Trump could NOT ACT.
The capital and capital grounds are the exclusive responsibility of Congress – the legislative branch.
Trump authorized the NG to go to the Capital the moment Congress requested them – and he did that DAYS in advance.
There was NOTHING Trump could do or needed to do after that.
Even the weasle Gen Miley has confirmed that BEFORE Jn. 6th DOD had orders From Trump to send the NG immediately on the request of Congress. The time line of the order from Trump, the repeated rejections of the NG by Congress, the NG being ordered to be prepared ANYWAY, and the NG sitting in Busses at the Armory waiting for the order to deploy to the Capital from 7am J6 through Pelosi finally authorizing the request at about 2:30pm J6 to the Joint Cheifs of Staff documenting that request and documenting the order to send the NG at every step as that Order proceded down the chain of command until it reached Gen Walker at the Armory and the NG deployed.
Smith is correct that Trump did NOT direct the NG to the capitol on J6 – HE DID SO DAYS BEFORE, there was already a standing order – not just with the JCS but that had been passed all the way down the chain of command.
Nor did Peolosi or the CP call the WH to request the NG – they did not need to. They called DOD because EVERYONE involved KNEW Trump had already ordered the NG to be on call.
That idiots like you or Jack Smith are spraying such nonsense 4 years later is proof of how crazy a liars you are.
But Finally – though you and Smith have the entire history of the Deployment of the NG to the Capitol on J6 wrong.
Even if you had it right – The responsibility for the security of the Capital rests EXCLUSIVELY with congress – not the executive, not the president.
SCOTUS just upheld a TRO barring the the president from deploying the NG in states without the request of the Governor – who can deploy the NG without the permission of the president. The only place The president can deploy the NG without permission according to SCOTUS is DC,
But even in DC – not the capital or capital grounds as those are controlled exclusively by Congress.
Smith’s idiotic prosecution rests on the nonsensical Claim that Trump had the authorty to send the NG and failed to do so.
That is constitutional and legal BUNK.
The law and constitution require that Congress is responsible for security on the capital grounds.
And the well documented reality is that Days ahead of time Trump made it clear he WANTED the NG at the capitol.
Why ? For the protection of his supporters. Trump beleived – as it turns out correctly,
The Pelosi would try to start a Mele and that the presence of NG troops under the authority of Gen. Walker would preclude issuing illegl orders to the CP to provoke a riot.
WE now KNOW that it is the CP that started the mess. They FORST accidentally tear gassed themselves, and then teargassed the peaceful protestors, and then illegally used lethal force on protestors who were trying to escape the tear gas.
No Trump did not make “false statements to legislatures” – again there was plenty of reason to distruct the 2020 election BEFORE it took place and far more today.
Nor would it be a crime if he had.
ATS – aside from the pact that Smith’s remarks are false – directly contradicted by massive amounts of evidence.
His claim is self contradictory.
Trump did NOT want the procedings delayed. He wanted the Republican senators and congressmen to do exactly as they planned and object to the certification of results from several states.
The Elections act requires that if both a senator and a representative object to the certification of a state, that Congress must hold hearings on that states election results, they must then voted on that states certification,
Trump’s best shot was if republicans voted not to certify NV, AZ and GA – that would deny Biden the EC votes needed to win, and result in Congress having to vote to determine the president. That vote is conducted by State not individual, and there are more red states than blue.
This was still a long shot. Further Cruz and several other house and Senate members intended to ask for a vote to delay certification, and to vote to have the NG go in and hand count the ballots in all the contested states.
From what we KNOW today Trump would not have won a straight hand recount. To Win he needed to have illegal ballots rejected.
It is highly unlikely the NG was going to do that.
Regardless, Trump did not want a delay – Pelosi wanted violence and a delay – because after she chased everyone out of the capital and they returned later than night to vote, no senators and few house members were now willing to object to certifying the contested states.
Trump did NOT want a delay or violence. Democrats and specifically Pelosi did.
The NG was not at the Capital because Nancy Pelosi did not want them there.
The pretense that this pitiful blog is a “legal” forum is laughable.
This is primarily a political blog designed to agitate the MAGA mob.
90% of Turley’s articles are slanted towards political criticism of the left.
The events that he discusses are usually trivial, and he twists the facts to play to his audience of MAGA morons. He attempts to dress up his comments in legal jargon, but he cannot hide his attempt to play to his audience that is overwhelmingly right wing extremists.
Turley knows his audience well, and he plays them for the fools that they are.
ANON=TRIVIAL FOOL!!
Yep, he finds one example of a left wing person who kills, ignoring the hundreds of right wing idiots that have killed or made threats of killing.
Gotta placate those faux news people so he can keep the gravy train rolling.
ANON=IGNORANT STOOGE!
You say: “hundreds of right wing idiots that have killed” and then you add “or made threats of killing.” You continue to conflate actions with words. Why? So you can lead people who do not know you are a Demo troll.
Anon 2:39pm The reality/facts of leftist violence, destruction and murder in America, is overwhelmingly “not” in favor of your totally dishonest comment. The first day of 2026 and you start off with completely manufactured lies.
Nice to meet you moron. You obviously don’t read him very often, when he has criticized Trump. Not his fault that the left does/says 10 things a day that are lies.
Where is your highly successful blog ANON??? What?- YOU don’t have one? Figures!!
SCORE UPDATE!!! Turley 95,000,000+ ANON 0
Wait… Aren’t *you* in his audience? So you’re a fool, too?
This is primarily a political blog designed to agitate the MAGA mob.
Well it certainly melts down the Biden Bolshevik Birthing Boyz, to the point they believe the Midol Moment it puts them in might signal that they’re finally getting their first menstrual period.
BTW… take a few extra moments to tell us why you Democrat Marxist Useless Idiots come here when you know whatever you read is going to offend every Karen in your mob.
Your suffering never ends – it’s a shame that you feel it’s necessary to snivel and whine to the readers of Professor Turley’s column. You validate the stereotypes that are cast of leftist TDS-sufferers, anger, rage, and hysterical rants. Tell everyone, just how much fun did you have at Mamdani’s communist swearing-in gala?
ATS
90% of Turley’s posts are about Free speech – that is Turley’s primary area of interest and expertise.
By far TODAY it is the left that violates the free speech right of citizens.
So it is nearly always the left that Turley is going to be complaining about.
If you do not wish to be featured in Turley’s blog – do not use govenrment to violate the free speech rights of others..
“90% of Turley’s articles are slanted towards political criticism of the left.”
Aside from spin – correct.
approx. 50% of the homocides in the US have black killers.
That is just reality.
90% fo the violations of the first amendment are done by the left.
That is just reality.
“The events that he discusses are usually trivial”
Violating free speech rights is NEVER trivial.
“he twists the facts to play to his audience of MAGA morons.”
Look up at the header for this blog
Res ipsa loquitur – The thing itself speaks
The facts speak for themselves.
“He attempts to dress up his comments in legal jargon”
No pretty much he does not.
“but he cannot hide his attempt to play to his audience that is overwhelmingly right wing extremists.”
There are nearly as many on the left here as the mix of conservatives, libertarians, centrists, etc.
There are a few not completely rational posters on the right. But universally the poster on the left – like you are batxchiff crazy and live in a fact free bubble.
“Turley knows his audience well, and he plays them for the fools that they are.”
There is very little evidence that Turely even reads the comment section on this blog.
It is not those who comment that are his audience.
It is the 95M views this blog has gotten.
Happy New Year to all! Very interesting that China is #6 on the list – am sure they are learning quite a bit.
Congratulations, Professor! A well-deserved landmark. You remain a beacon of common sense amid the detritus of our mortal terrain.
I also want to thank our dedicated editors, Kristin Oren and Hartwell Harrison, who continue their amazing work proofing posts on a daily basis to remove my embarrassing typos.
======
This is not English 101, but Kristin and Hartwell need to step up ⬆️⬆️⬆️ their Game 🙏🙏🙏
The thing itself speaks, like a trout in milk.
Professor Turley a standing ovation to you. But for you I would know little or nothing of the subjects you write about, or to bother to become more informed with further research.
I’ll quote F.E. Smith (Earl of Birkenhead):
Judge: I have read your case, Mr. Smith, and I am no wiser now than I was when I started.
Smith: Possibly not, My Lord, but far better informed.”
And to further compliment you I’ll leave you with something I pulled from Scalia Speaks from a dissent by Judge Andrews in Palsgraf, “[t]here is in truth little to guide us other than common sense.”
Congratulations from a Canadian reader!
Congratulations Professor. You occupy a unique space – discussing often technical legal issues in way that is understandable to the general public, and doing so in an unfailingly civil manner, thereby making a valuable contribution to the legal profession as well as the citizenry. Happy New Year and keep up the good work!
