Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday warned that the country is in a constitutional crisis and that more contempt charges against Trump administration officials could come as Attorney General Bill Barr waits for the House to vote on his reprimand.
Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol that the contempt citation against Barr will come to the full House for a vote 'when we're ready' and warned President Donald Trump this may not be the end of his war with Congress.
'When we’re ready we’ll come to the floor,' Pelosi said.

WNU Editor: There is no constitutional crisis. But as predicted this is all fall-out from the Mueller report and its admission that there is no Russian collusion, and growing fears that the Department of Justice's investigation on how the entire Russian probe was launched may implicate key former Obama officials. Here is an easy prediction .... expect more political fireworks in the weeks to come.

Constitutional crisis is something democrats call things when they don't agree with something. "Once they/we are back in power, civility can be restored" - H.R. Clinton
Until then, anything goes.. lying, spying, making shit up
Where is the evidence 3 years in? How come neither the FBI nor Mueller found anything?
Enough of this BS. Lets investigate the investigators. See what really happened .. maybe she is right.. maybe there was a constitutional crisis.. I would even think so... but it was caused by Democrats
They had Stalingrad in their grasp...loyal till the end they shall not retreat.
there are three branches of govt
The president has told all people working for him NOT to assist in any way Congress in its legal oversight duties. That of course will end in the courts. Till such time, yes, Pelosi is correct: there is a constitutional crisis and if you think otherwise than you are not familiar with our constitution
And you're familiar with the Constitution squirrel? Have you figured out the legal definition of "treason" in the US yet? Got the right dictionary?
Well then squirrel what is it? While you're at it you need to brush up on Constitutional definition of the three branches of US government.
Well said Fred.
I have always believed that the US Supreme Court, if it is to remain as an independent branch of government, and have some power of significance, it needs to become proactive, providing input into all manner of legislation that violates the Constitution before it becomes law, and in some cases, general political activity. For example when voters vote out a party in a given state, and the outgoing principal fills numerous positions with people that would result in making the incoming party ineffective and unable to implement the changes they campaigned on, as Walker did, the Court should be able to nullify such appointments without waiting for a referral. There are many more examples of course.
