The Real Constitutional Crisis at Work

In Political Science, a “Constitutional Crisis” is a problem or conflict in the function of a government that the political constitution or other fundamental governing law is perceived to be unable to resolve.

 

The Watergate Scandal is the premier textbook example of a “Constitutional Crisis” where one co-equal branch of our government defied the other two co-equal branches of government, until ultimately, the President was forced to resign. Because he tried to run ramshod over the Constitution.

The "illiberal media" (which has no defined Constitutional power) and some Democrats (but not all) are decrying that we are facing a “Constitutional Crisis” three weeks in to the Trump Presidency. Why? Because he has decided to make good on promises he made that 77MM Americans expect him to keep.

So yes. There IS the making of said Crisis. But it is not President Trump who created it.

It is, instead, a handful of activist judges, and the special interests they answer to, who are creating this crisis.

No less than Constitutional lawyer Jonathon Turley made this point in yesterday’ edition. of the New York Post in an op-ed piece. Quoting:

This week, the Democrat Party jumped the Shark.

For years, Dems and their allies pushed the absurd claim that democracy was about to die if Joe Biden or Kamala Harris was not elected president. The public wasn’t buying it. In 2024, Donald Trump won a majority of the voters as well as control of both houses of Congress.

Rather than examine its messaging, Democrats decided to double down. After the election, politicians and pundits announced a new “constitutional Crisis” surrounding the effort to downsize the federal government led by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

When you consider that some Democrats have been trying to undermine the election results since November, it isn’t a surprise that “Constitutional Crisis” would be their next “battle cry”, since everything else has failed. And the fact that Senator Schumer set up a “whistleblower hotline” which is backfiring against the Democrats is very telling.

The American people are no longer buying what the Democrats and their media pawns are selling. Sooner or later, all the activist judges’ TRO’s will be overturned as well, since THOSE ORDERS will be deemed Unconstitutional. Then, what will the Democrats and their cronies do?

There is a liberal newspaper in DC which created a unique tagline. But the publisher was not entirely correct.

It should be changed to read “Democracy Dies In Leftist Political Subterfuge”.
