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 Muellers 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."

>> Next time they will go full Hitler/Stalin on our asses.
I think they already have gone full H/S. I just think it’s invisible to us. We are the frogs in the slowly boiling pot of water. We just haven’t noticed how hot the water has gotten because it’s been gradual.
I agree 100% that we need to take down the traitors. Completely. Every single one of them. Stamp it out completely or it will spring back up like a weed. And a message must be sent to anyone who would dare to try this in the future. That is why Trump has said repeatedly that this should not be allowed to happen to any future candidate / President. Not only should it not happen to a candidate, it should be prevented from happening to ANY OF US. If they can do this to Trump, they can do it to you or me.
Trump needs to start proclaiming that Nadless is attacking Barr to obstruct justice and Demoncrap investigations.
That’s right.
We only know the tip of the iceberg on all this.
Barr should announce he’s releasing all the Fast & Furious grand jury testimony, notes, reports, etc.
Yes, he was held in contempt because he refused to turn over documents regarding the illegal gun running to Mexico by the Obama administration.
In the case of Eric Holder, the contempt charge was akin to playground name calling as nothing ever came of it.
Of one thing you can be sure: Democrats are PUSSIES!
When I see on posturing, I just want to puke.
Why do they always call our government a “democracy”? Only democrats seem to do this.
Indeed. The drama and chaos is incredible.
Constipational Crisis.
Nadler is Golden Corral’s worst nightmare.
The DemonRat party is a Constitutional Crisis.
I can’t imagine the Left putting on uniforms and fighting honorably like men did in the Civil War. The Left are nothing but terrorists and that is how they would and do fight.
Wow.. is that photo real?
What a SLOB!
Trump was funny at his rally.
“I had to fight Nadler when he was a state congressman, and I beat him then. I come to Washington, and there he is again. I’m thinking, I’m got to beat him here too.”
It would be a shame if someone found child porn on nadler’s home computer.
“The only constitutional crisis is the fact that there were enough people voting Dim to put them in power.”
Are we sure about that?
A small handful of these weasels filling out ballots to swing elections is the more likely scenario.
Izzat so?
