(83,502 posts)46. Welcome to DU, New Orleans Strong!
Glad you're here! Glad you found your way to an oasis in the desert. This place kept a lot of us sane during the miserable bush/cheney years. At least we had each other for company and for solace, and it showed us clearly that we weren't alone in the way we felt or the way we sized up that mess. On ALL the big issues, WE are the ones who turned out to be correct. And we're STILL correct about the VAST majority of it.

When will this situation be called what it really is, a Constitutional Crisis?

The Republicans have indeed invoked a "scorched earth" policy. Great analogy, thanks JoePhilly.

I think this still falls into the plan of the 1%. They gain from every crisis.
