Jed Shugerman was quoted in a Philadelphia Inquirer article about a rebuttal by George Conway (attorney husband of President Trump’s counselor Kellyanne Conway) to President Trump’s claim that special counsel Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia investigation is unconstitutional.
George Conway, a prominent attorney and husband of President Trump’s counselor Kellyanne Conway, is pushing back against the president’s claim’s about the constitutionality of special counsel Robert Mueller’s appointment.
…
In his article, Conway wrote that Trump seemed to have picked up the notion that Mueller’s appointment was illegal from an op-ed written by conservative legal scholar and Federalist Society chairman Steven Calabresi.
…
Fordham University law professor Jed Shugerman called Conway’s rebuttal “devastating” to Calabresi’s argument.
“His sharp conclusion is the most significant part, calling Calabresi’s argument ‘meritless,’ ” Shugerman said. “That’s a strong word in legal circles, and it’s accurate.”
