The article discusses the alarming actions of the Trump administration, specifically its attempts to interpret the Constitution and disregard court rulings. Many commentators describe this as a 'constitutional crisis', but the article argues this term is misleading. Legal experts express concern that labeling these events as such makes them seem distant and academic, whereas they pose immediate risks to Americans' rights and government services. The message is clear: current actions may have dire consequences, putting basic governance and legal principles at risk.
"A president refusing to abide by the law or the Constitution and ignoring court orders to stop his illegitimate actions would be a constitutional crisis like a bank robbery is a cash flow crisis," Joseph Ura, a political scientist at Clemson University, told me via email.
This week, the Trump administration came the closest it has thus far to outright refusing to follow a judge's order, after days of comments from Vice President J. D. Vance."
