I'm guessing the question time will simply be requesting these 3 professors to dunk on Turley, and the GOP asking Turley to make a rebuttal.

I’d he had run up there and incoherently screamed “LORD KING TRUMP’S PENIS IS 14 INCHES LONG AND HE ONLY LAYS THE HOTTEST BABES” we’d be looking at Justice Turley by the end of the year.

This could actually be an interesting back and forth unless Turley feels too attacked and gets crazy.

I did, but I’ll count it as important once he suffers consequences. Otherwise it’s more “hey crimes happened but whatever man” bullshit typical of modern politics. Why would I leap paying attention if no one ever gets their comeuppance?
