I've posted this before. I clearly remember when the headlines in both print media and on TV news were touting the brouhaha over the discovery of President Clinton's dalliance with an intern as a "Constitutional Crisis" every day. I was furious over the sensationalism of that as if our country was going to fall apart because he fooled around.

Why aren't they calling this a "Constitutional Crisis"? I sure think it is.
