Nadler declares 'constitutional crisis' after contempt vote, accuses Trump of attacking 'essence of our democracy'(full title)
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., declared a "constitutional crisis" on Wednesday, but pushed back on impeachment as an option after his committee voted to hold the attorney general in contempt for defying a subpoena for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s unredacted Russia report and underlying documents.
"We've talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. We are now in it," Nadler told the press on Wednesday. Although he pushed back on impeachment as an option, he indicated that the United States was at a critical time of testing whether it could stay a republic or transition into a tyrannical form government.
Nadler's committee voted along partisan lines to hold Barr in contempt on Wednesday and angered the White House by not delaying the vote. At the same time, the president invoked executive privilege — refusing to comply with Congressional subpoenas.
Nadler accused the White House of "stonewalling" the American people and attacking "the essence of our democracy."
"They are uniformly rejecting subpoenas from Congress. This means that they have decided to oppose the role of Congress as a coordinate branch of government representing the American people."

Nad’s is a complete fraud. His “constitutional crisis” is really a fundraising crisis.
Get over it. TRUMP WON!
The only real crisis is when Nadler shows up at an all you can eat buffet.
CC
They have spent two years attempting to nullify an election - and President Trump is the one attacking?
And hey putz - it's not a "democracy".
The crisis will be over when Nadler and other Demonicrats are tried, convicted, sentenced and publicly hanged for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
The Constitutional Crisis was Usurpation Day.
Everything else flowed from that.
Just obey God’s law and bury them before sundown.
no mental hospital wants any patients as NUTS as Nadler and Company
Waa! You hurt our ability to doxx all these people and thus make a very loud ado about nothing!
Nad-less has an incontinent crisis. He a disgusting slob
The only constitutional crisis is the fact that there were enough people voting Dim to put them in power.
Refusing to be persecuted by a lawless Democrat Inquisition = “a constitutional crisis”
Oh no another constitutional crisis
The RATS are so deep in this coup there is no escape for any of them. There has to be a few conscientious RATS in the Swamp and the MSM (I realize that’s a stretch) who know they’re all in deep s**t! I really fear there will be a civil war in this nation again because these people won’t go down quietly without a fight
This was the risk written into a “We The People” constitution. Sure, “The People,” if in enough force, can turn the thing into Silly Putty.
That was great. Thanks!

Hmmm, those are dangerous words to use around Fat B@st@rd, he must carry around at least 200 pounds of feces at any given time.
If Trump and Barr have committed such heinous crimes, why don’t you move on impeachment, Fat B@st@rd? Oh, that’s right, you know you don’t have a fat chunky leg to stand on.
This POS - and his RAT accomplices, are trying to overthrow our President. They have no indication a crime has been committed - in fact, they have a multi-year, multi-million dollar report STATING as such... but it’s not good enough for him because, well, orange man bad.
They are TRAITORS and should be arrested and tried. This isn’t “politics as usual” - this is a full out attempt to subvert and overthrow our government, just because they are stuck in an endless loop of hissy-fit because they chosen bitch didn’t / couldn’t win an election.
He speaks to Barr rejecting Congress as a coordinate branch of Govt.
He forgets there are 2 houses of Congress.
The only Constitutional Crisis is that Nadler and his co-conspirators have apparently never read the Constitution.
My Constitution is just fine, Fat Boy.
