I don't expect legal scholars or judges to be "liberal." That would be an oxymoron. Judges, by their nature, are conservative, though not in the current incarnation. "The law" is all about resistance to change. The hardest thing to do in court is overcome a precedent.

Turley seems to have bought into the extremist views of modern "conservatism."
