-- In the screenshot below, my initial take is that the term "constitutional CRISIS" does not mean an actual "Constitutional crisis" as it is usually defined. --

Yeah, but using words and terms "as usually defined" is passe. Massive 4th amendment violations might gather that label, but to me, "constitutional crisis" is a Gordian knot conflict between branches.

Was Watergate a constitutional crisis? I'd say no, but if the public and press decide to call it one, there is nothing I can do about it.

Same now. If the CIA is by and large controlling the press narrative, or the NSA and others are perpetrating a wholesale invasion of privacy, those are not constitutional crises, any more than the education establishment failing to teach civics and government is.

Unsettling facts to be sure. Massive. But not constitutional crisis.

Right. I don't think it's a "Constitutional crisis" either.

Instead, it is a merely a massive crisis involving a violation of our Constitutional rights (which at first blush seems to me what Q is saying).

Let me add to that statement that I am still on my first cup o' Joe and still clawing my way our of my morning fog.;-)
