Trumpβs Actions Have Created a Constitutional Crisis, Scholars Say
Law professors have long debated what the term means. But now many have concluded that the nation faces a reckoning as President Trump tests the boundaries of executive power.
"We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis right now," said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the law school at the University of California, Berkeley. "There have been so many unconstitutional and illegal actions in the first 18 days of the Trump presidency. We never have seen anything like this."

Federal Courts Are the Frontline for Those Opposing Trump Executive Orders
With a compliant Congress and mostly quiet streets, the presidentβs opponents are turning to the judicial branch with a flurry of legal actions. But can the courts keep up?
With little significant resistance rising in Congress or within the Republican Party, President Trumpβs opponents are turning to the judicial branch. More than 40 lawsuits filed in recent days seek to push back against his executive actions.

Hegsethβs former sister-in-law says he believed women shouldnβt vote
That tracks with the tenets of a religious movement he's involved in.
Buried toward the end of the press release was another eye-opening detail. Pete Hegseth allegedly said, βwomen should not vote or work and that Christians needed to have more children so they could overtake the Muslim population.β
UM.

Ironic that the biggest lawbreaking President we ever had would accuse the brave Bishop of weaponizing the pulpit and not following norms. We must fight fire with fire against him- no other choice.
