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."

What will the Dems try now ? They’ll save impeachment for just before the Election
Maybe not but he sure reads the DNC fundraising reports. Crises must never go to waste.
Nadler and his cohorts in crime are nothing more than a big fat feces sandwich.
My question to you is..who will fight for them?
Nadler is a rather fat, stupid drama queen trying to gin up funds for the dems. The whole bunch of them are try to see who can screech the loudest.
The only constitutional crisis, Nadler, is after you stuff your gob and then become constipated for days.
You lost staple boy.
May the wrath of Patriots be upon you.
Smoke screen to cover what Trump is sending their way.
On the plus side [get it?], the drop will be shorter...
What do you think? About a foot?
We lived in a Republic. not a democracy
I’ve never heard the phrases “Essence of democracy,” “American people,” “rule of law,” “constitutional crisis” uttered in such facile fashion as when spoken by leftists.
Nadler was resectioned to curb his obesity.
The procedure triggers involuntary bowel movements.
So when Nadler said “Constitutional crisis” ....that was code for “Staff, get me some clean Depends.....and hurry.”
bwahahaha... whatever, f’ing fat drama queen. Holder flipped the bird too; and??
They’d look great on the DC cherry trees...
Nadless is trying desperately to be important.
We lived in a Republic. not a democracy
Fat Jerry is absolutely correct, just not the way he thinks. Holding Barr in contempt of congress for upholding the law is a constitutional crisis.
Democrats are about creating crises, that is the only thing they are good at.
The asshat needs to be rebuked by the Courts in a definitive and authorative manner post haste.
