I've been a law student at Indiana for the past several years, and though I've never had the pleasure of taking a course with Prof. Johnsen, I have listened to her speak on the subject of Executive power. She is knowledgeable about the subject, and passionate about ensuring that the president remains within his or her legal authority. Furthermore, she appears to be self-possessed enough to withstand the not-inconsiderable social and institutional pressure to conform to a president's desires.
Based on my (admittedly limited) exposure, I would be surprised if she were anything less than vigilant and vocal in ensuring that we don't see a repeat of the last 8 years under the Obama administration.
