Lawrence Tribe: "It is a constitutional crisis."

[CousinIT]

When this guy says IT IS a constitutional crisis, there's no more "If" or "when". It's here NOW.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

I guess better late than never.

8. Tribe was on to Trump from the first Taco

In May, 2019:

“...Trump won’t talk to Mueller about Putin.”

Harvard professor of law sums up where we’re at as a nation, politically and strategically:

“Trump is willing to talk to Putin about Mueller, but not to Mueller about Putin. What kind of president has that kind of disloyalty to the United States?” — Laurence Tribe

The others who know and should say something, absolutely Irish_Dem, not so much.

14. Like when Alan Greenspan grudgingly admitted,

"I have found a flaw".
No hubris quite as offensive as intellectual arrogance,IMHO.

12. Professor Tribe is one of our best assets

He knows that of which he speaks.

[FakeNoose]

15. How many Repukes are willing to listen to Lawrence Tribe?

That has always been THE problem.

[calimary]

16. Probably none.

They’ll blame him for that, too.

[DENVERPOPS]

17. Tons of us

here on DU have been screaming our heads off from the rooftops every since HW"s CABAL committed treason to rig the Carter Election, and have been screaming our heads off ever since.............only to fall on deaf ears..........and we were all put down for over 45+ years as far left wing fanatical dingbats.........
Hilary was the only Dem Politician to call it, out when she stated: "There is a giant Right Wing Conspiracy" and she was laughed at, even by the dem party.........

The icing on the cake was the Cheney/Rumsfeld CABAL..............

So here we are today folks...................and it is looking more and more like we have already passed the point of no return......

The Republican Oligarchs, Republican controlled Media, and Corporations have taken complete control of the U.S. Government.........and we find ourselves at the mercy of a Fascist Corporate Tyranny that is spinning out of control more every day..........

[CousinIT]

18. Yep. I was here for all of that. Way back to Nixon.

The right-wing corruption, criminality, and sociopathy go back DECADES.

We warned and warned and warned and warned.

"You're overreacting!"

Yeah? Bullshit.

[DENVERPOPS]

20. Do you remember the large group that called themselves the

"Reagan Democrats"?????? They even had a large group brainwashed back then.............

If we hadn't been watching this all along, and seen it with our own eyes and heard it with our own ears, we would give a book about the last 45+years the top prize for fiction........

I personally feel that the BEST title for a book about the last 45+ years would be:

WHILE THE NATION SLEPT...........

"They" were all walking down the jungle path, swatting at mosquitoes, completely oblivious to the herd of charging Elephants.....Pun Intended...
