Lawrence Tribe: "It is a constitutional crisis." [View all]

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.
