Isn't a Constitutional Crisis a form of war?

A Constitutional Crisis is not click bait is it?

There are usually plenty of one liners posted that no one ever comments on negatively.

At least I knew what s/he was referring to. YMMV

Grandpa Barr spit in the face of Congress.

And this is OK why?

maybe he will change his mind.

I agree with you, Democrats have a stronger case in an impeachment hearing.

how that works.

I do know that one should never ask a question if they don't know the answer (as in legal inquiry).

But the thing about war puzzles me.

If you are at war, you fight back with everything you've got.

"Keeping your powder dry" because you might lose, means you almost certainly will lose.

Every shooting in a mosque, temple, church, college, high school, coffee shop or run-down mall constitutes an act of political terrorism. Young
white men smiling and snickering while chanting “Jews will not replace us.”

The ideological divide is now so vast between left and right, neither side can co-exist with the other. How to address this critical issue is a massive problem— RWers don’t come with a factory installed TOLERANCE switch.

McConnell declared outloud, a one sided war against President Barack H Obama, vowing to not pass legislation or give Merrick Garland a hearing.

More than two years into the orange dimwits term, the Dems are strategically giving the GOP a slow, rolled out taste of their own shit.

By firing back we have joined the war.
