Constitutional Crisis?

The United States is no longer teetering on the brink of a constitutional crisis. For all intents and purposes, the Constitution has already collapsed.

Establishing a framework for governance, the Constitution at its core was designed to prevent tyranny, but under the weight of relentless assaults on our freedoms by President Trump, with the full backing of Republicans in Congress, that commitment to liberty has been rendered impotent.

Trump’s long-standing disregard for the rule of law and disdain for the Constitution are a matter of record, with the most egregious example being the attempt to overthrow the 2020 presidential election.

Constitutional resilience notwithstanding, had it not been for the stabilizing counsel from the president’s first-term advisors, who have since been replaced with yes-men and ideologues, the republic may not have survived. With these guardians of democracy gone, an independent judiciary may be democracy’s only hope for sustainability.
