Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) referred to the president's issuing of a claim of executive privilege to abrogate the House of Representatives' subpoena of the full, unredacted Mueller Report as a "constitutional crisis." Nadler stated, "We are in one because the president is disobeying the law, is refusing all information to Congress." This neat little two-word designation has been picked up by the talking heads of the MSM and is being used to underline and italicize the need for impeachment. Impeachment of the president is considered important by Nadler and his band of deranged brothers and sisters like Adam Schiff, Steve Cohen, Rashida Tlaib, and Maxine Waters. The blue wave of impeachers want to impeach not only President Donald Trump, but William Barr, Brett Kavanaugh, and Betsy DeVos and, in fact, would probably like to impeach Trump's whole Cabinet. I call this untidy tidal wave of rage the off-with-their-heads Queen of Hearts syndrome.
Former FBI director James Comey, one of the key actors in this so-called crisis, gave his typically vapid assessment by noting, "I actually don't think the country is in a constitutional crisis, [but] we're at a time where our constitutional design, the genius of our founders is going to be tested, and I think it's up for it." Bob Woodward, the Washington Post journalist of Watergate fame, and Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said they prefer the term "constitutional confrontation" to "constitutional crisis."
But the term "constitutional crisis" has been used in referring to the Trump administration almost from Inauguration Day. On that date in 2017, The Atlantic's David Frum called the new president a "constitutional crisis on two legs." Then, a few days later, the president issued an executive order banning citizens of several Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S.

More projection from these Democratic traitors. They created this situation with rogue Republicans. But guess what those of us who can do something about it know for sure and will never let them exploit things further. All that they will do is get naive supporters on their side hurt or killed. Despicable
Under the new thinking, the Democrat is always supposed to win the presidential race, and if she doesn’t, it’s a Constitutional Crisis.
Actually, they want to impeach Trump AND Pence to
clear the way for President Nanzi.
All nitwits in the Democrat party, deadbeat republicans, and a feckless media elite must conquer is the president we elected.........
Please tell me THE LAW you say the president is breaking. Accuracy counts. Thank you.
The real Constitutional crisis was Usurpation Day.
All the rest flowed from that.
If there is a real problem for the House, the solution is simple:
Nadler, sorry, the process stops at step 2, or perhaps at step 3. Or you start impeachment proceedings to open up the existing 6B exception.
Don't try to go around your own rules. Fix them, or follow them.
Where does the Constitutional Crisis start?

Part of the Revolution that Never Ends, is the flexible definition of words. Calling the current situation a “constitutional crisis” is much like the question once posed to Abraham Lincoln - “If you called a dog’s tail a leg, how many legs would the dog have?” President Lincoln’s response was, “Four. Just because you CALL a dog’s tail a leg, doesn’t MAKE it into a leg.”
Revolutionaries have a hard time of it when somebody actually gets around to parsing their words.

Thanks Kaslin.

Nadler has to make up the law first before he can tell you.
