Washington - Ladies and gentlemen, our nation is in a crisis. It is in a crisis about whether to label the current moment a crisis.
Facing the blanket refusal by the Trump administration to cooperate with any and all congressional oversight, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., last week proclaimed a full-blown "constitutional crisis." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she agreed.
On the other side, the man who precipitated the purported crisis, President Trump, respectfully disagreed. "The Democrats new and pathetically untrue sound bite is that we are in a 'Constitutional Crisis,'" he remarked as part of a 118-tweet fusillade that included an attack on his handpicked FBI chief.
