In 2011, Bush torture architect and Constitutional Scholar John Yoo (who was hated in DailyKos once upon a time) defended the Obama’s stance on his power to attack Libya and wrote against the Republicans who were against it.
Few months back, Yoo defended the Obama Administration from Republicans again on their drone policy.
Now, he defends the admin against the Verizon controversy.
I, for one, can sleep well with John Yoo's ringing endorsement of President Obama, his administration and his administration's policies. Yoo is the guy who once admitted that it would be constitutional for the US President to crush the testicles of a terror suspect's child in order to get the terror suspect to talk.

By accusing President Barack Obama of violating the War Powers Resolution, House Republicans are abandoning their party's longstanding position that the Constitution allows the executive to use force abroad, subject to Congress's control over funding.

John Yoo -- the George W. Bush administration lawyer who authored legal memos for the war on terror, including enhanced interrogation techniques -- is defending President Obama on the use of armed drones, in the face of criticism from libertarian Rand Paul.

I've got a forthcoming piece in USA Today discussing the controversy over revelations that the Obama Administration has been collecting data on Verizon phone calls thanks to authorization via a FISA Court. My position is that the data collecting isn't unconstitutional because the Fourth Amendment only protects the content of phone calls and not information on the dialed numbers, length of the calls, etc.
Forgive me if I have missed any other instances where Yoo may have endorsed the current White House policies and activities. I am off now to check if Cheney has endorsed anything.
