Obama's executive actions "a very dangerous thing," says legal scholar

Obama's executive actions "a very dangerous thing," says legal scholar:

"A legal scholar said Wednesday on Fox New’s “The Kelly File” that President Obama’s decision to bypass Congress to enact legislation is “a very dangerous thing.” 

“The framers created a system that was designed to avoid one principle thing, and that’s the concentration of power in any one branch, because that balancing between these branches in a fixed orbit is not only what gives stability to our system, but protects us against authoritarian power, protects civil liberties from abuse,” Jonathan Turley, a professor of law at George Washington University Law School, told host Megyn Kelly.

“And what we’ve been seeing is the shift of gravity in that system in a very dangerous way that makes it unstable.”"
