BTRTN: Topping the Fall Reality TV Line-Up... Constitutional Crisis

Born to Run the Numbers on how the events of this past week point toward an inevitable constitutional crisis... both in the legal sense, and in the sense of our national constitution: our will, and our character.

http://www.borntorunthenumbers.com/2017/07/topping-fall-reality-tv-line-up.html

Excerpt:

"By week’s end it had become apparent that Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for firing Robert Mueller, and, in all likelihood, doing anything and everything he perceives to be within his power to cripple the Russia investigation permanently.

If this comes to pass, the United States could very well face the gravest constitutional crisis in its history. But there is constitutional crisis – as in, the unwillingness of one branch of government to accede to the limits of its constitutional authority – and then there is a crisis of our national constitution … a challenge to our character and will as a people. Once the facts are established that Trump is overstepping his constitutional authority, are we as a people willing to act in order to force our representatives to rein in or remove a President who is brazenly and nakedly intent on subverting a vital investigation into the most serious threat to our democracy in the history of our republic?"
