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."

The constitutional crisis is that for over the last 100 years, the federal government has become over 80% UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
THAT is the constitutional crisis.
And the Left - guys like this Democrat idiot - are the perps.
Not sure you can get within arm's length of him.
The entirety of the previous administration was a constitutional crisis.
I’m sure President Trump has plenty of goods on these people and since he is not release the hounds yet I would suspect the time is not right yet. Likely much will be released during the re-election campaign.
Jabba the Butt Nadler is the constitutional crisis.
Salle darme prepped.
The libs cheering him on are chanting: Go Nads! Go Nads! Go Nads!
I agree with the crisis:
Nadler should be immediately arrested for himself as a federal employee ordering through official ways and means another federal employee (Barr) to commit a felony or face punishment. That is a clear cut federal crime just as if an officer ordered a subordinate to commit a clearly illegal order or face discipline.
I refer to the schmuck as Nadless.
------------------
A legislature that passes a bill taking over fifteen percent of the economy, obamacare, without even reading it, is the epitome of decadence. And for the citizenry to cheer it is the final brush stroke. Apre Trump, le deluge.
Drama queen
IMHO, EVERY Democrat is certifiably insane!
Used to, there were some decent Democrats - some of them were even Statesmen.
Not so today - Democrats are a clear and present danger to the Republic!
If we wish to remain a FRee people, we MUST destroy the Democrat Party!
LOL
Boy if a CW breaks out I’d love to see a top 1000 list for the left.
The Dems are working on destroying themselves.
These people are afraid of more than what they’re voicing about Donald Trump. These people are verrry afraid of something or someone else. From a psychological standpoint they are saying and doing things that are totally irrational. This country is doing great and they hate it?? WTF? Nah man....there is something...some group of what...some behind the scenes puppet masters that the democrats are REALLY afraid of maybe? They cant be this stupid....this self defeating. Something smells really sh***y. Reeeeaallly sh***ty indeed.
I thought they wound have had burst blood vessels on live TV by now suffering embalisms leading to strokes, but I think you got it. It seems to me their minds are bending like the string we used to tye on our racks to see how deep we were on our submarines, straight on the surface and the deeper the dip in the string the deeper we were in the ocean, sometimes we thought we would implode. You can tell something is wrong inside of them. When their minds get too much more of that bending, they are going to implode and explode like those female “Fembots” who’s minds could only take so much of Austin Power’s charm, in this case President Trump’s charisma, common sense and truthful destiny? It might even be sad. we will witness a mass chain reaction of mental meltdowns.
