OLC: Presidential Power at Root of GOP Opposition to Dawn Johnsen

OLC: Presidential Power at Root of GOP Opposition to Dawn Johnsen: "Dawn Johnsen is one of the premiere scholars -- on the left or right -- on the subject of presidential power, constitutionality and the rule of law.

She, along with several other former OLC lawyers from all sides of the political aisle, crafted a document which lays out limitations on presidential power and conduct under our nation's laws shortly after the OLC torture memos started surfacing. And that is at the root of GOP opposition to her nomination."
