It's crazy to me that people are still saying we're heading for it... Our Capitol was invaded by militaries from other states and they're now invading Chicago. The crisis is over, the civil war has already begun.
A constitutional crisis is a specific kind of thing, which has more to do with machinations of power rather than the fallout of those machinations.
As yet there hasn't been a strong constitutionally backed opposition to these actions, though I imagine they're in the works, it's probably not a "constitutional" crisis, just a more generic one.
Yeah, who could see a constitutional crisis in an authoritarian wannabe despot is using military as police with no real pushback from the courts?
Nice word salad there with no real meaning. You're delusional if you don't think the constitution is already in crisis.
Well, I guess when all you want is a good sound bite, you can call it whatever you want.
Bad thing happen! Panic! Panic! Don't think, just react!
You're underplaying neighboring states sending their militaries to blue cities. They're doing it in the name of reducing crime, but the military isn't allowed to take police actions for US citizens.
