In this case it means a crisis which is the result of the massive violation of Constitutional Rights of users by these "data mining companies." I also get the sense that it is referring to the use of this data by Obama, Hillary, and the DNC to steal an election (the biggest violation of our Constitutional Rights).
It also appears that the "+12" simply means that are at least 12 more companies "coming soon" (i.e. to light) that are not mentioned here.
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.
That is heartening, however, someone needs to tell that to the states. At the Federal level, yeah, maybe "guns are safe." (Sessions talking about banning bump stocks was not encouraging though). However, at the State level, guns and magazines are being made ILLEGAL.
Vermont is about to pass a massive gun control bill that bans magazines over 10 rounds. New Jersey (which already has draconian gun control) is going to do the same thing. New York is taking more gun control action. Floriday already did. And on and on.
Banning magazine (pieces of plastic or stamped sheet metal with a spring in it) is not child's play. People have had their lives ruined and been thrown in jail for "possessing" them, or for violating these ridiculous state laws in some way vis a vis legal firearms.
The Supreme Court REFUSES to hear Second Amendment cases. Retired Justice Stevens just called for a repeal of the amendment!
John Paul Stevens: Repeal the Second Amendment
And National Reciprocity, which would nullify some states who refuse to honor concealed carry laws of other states, passed the House but is going nowhere right now.
Have relatives employed by Amazon who are not red-pilled. Should I try to get them to sell their Amazon stock?
...my initial take is that the term “constitutional CRISIS” does not mean an actual “Constitutional crisis” ....
...
I hope so.
