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.

It’s not exclusive to the left. How many times have you read of someone’s head exploding? I think click-bait headlines have become the norm.
