"...This isn't a constitutional crisis. It is, however, an assault on the notion that we live in a nation of laws and that no one, including the president, is above them...."  Yes, it is.  An assault on the nation's laws is a "constitutional crisis" as the current occupant of the presidency is a liar, cheat, multiple-bankrupt business owner, misogynist, racist, etc. willing to completely subvert and violate any laws hindering his attaing full dictatorship.  The greatest threat to freedom and democracy under the U.S. Constitutional Republic since Nixon and G.W. Bush.  All part of the Republican Terrorist Traitor Party dedicated to the establishment of a Corporate Oligarchy joined with fundamentalist theocracy to rule the nation, turning it all into kakistocracy finalized in Kleptocracy.  All to the detriment of human and civil rights of the individual citizen.  The Scalia Court traitors legalizing a superior Corporate Citizen over human individuals set the state. Trump finalizes it all.
