Back in Al Gore days the catchword was "gravitas". Today it's "constitutional crisis". In my school days it had been "I love Elvis!"

A hissy fit, not a constitutional crisis "Who knew that the Stones had the Democrats in mind when they sang about that woman who kept having nervous breakdowns? Did Mick have Senator Elizabeth Warren in mind? or Rep. Maxine Waters? I saw a lot [of] women screaming on TV saying that the Constitution was in crisis and that bad stuff is coming our way.
"It's mid-February and the Democrats can't keep up with President Trump. So it's time to go "nervous breakdown" or the "constitutional crisis card." So here we go -- the constitutional crisis is here and fasten your seat belts. The coup is coming. Look out for the tanks because they are rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue any moment. With Pres. Trump is in the lead tank and Elon Musk in the next." . . .
"That's it. Going crazy on TV attacking Musk and Trump is not proof of a constitutional crisis. It simply confirms that there are a lot of screamers on the other side who don’t know why they lost the election."
Jonathan Turley: Dems exhaust last of credibility with false Trump 'constitutional crisis' "Forty years ago, a radio personality coined the phrase “jump the shark” in reference to the episode of the sitcom “Happy Days” in which the character Fonzie (Henry Winkler) jumps over a live shark on water skis. The term is often applied to dying franchises that turn to sensational language or scenes to try to revive the fading interest of the public. More often, you jump the shark and land in utter obscurity.
"This week, the Democratic Party jumped the shark.
"For years, Dems and their allies pushed the absurd claim that democracy was about to die if Joe Biden or Kamala Harris was not elected president. The public wasn’t buying it. In 2024, Donald Trump won a majority of the voters as well as control of both houses of Congress.
"Rather than examine its messaging, Democrats decided to double down. After the election, politicians and pundits announced a new “constitutional crisis” surrounding the effort to downsize the federal government led by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
"Kris Mayes, the attorney general of Arizona, declared this week, “We are on the brink of a dictatorship, and America has never been in a more dangerous position than she is today.”
"The same media that carried the breathless accounts of the imminent death of democracy with the last election are now running “constitutional crisis” articles with many of the same “experts.”
Trump hasn't created a ‘constitutional crisis' -- he's teaching Dems a lesson
"Not a sentence said by a Democrat these days doesn’t have a subject, a verb and “constitutional crisis.”
"President Trump wanting to halt spending while he reviews a government in massive debt is an “assault on Democracy,” a “circumvention of Congress” and, in typical understatement, an “executive coup.”
"Balderdash".
"While Trump must jump through certain hoops to offer buyouts or pare down departments, it was never the Founders’ intention for career government employees to outrank the president.
"As Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 70, “energy in the executive is the leading character in the definition of good government.”
"It’s the job of the president to drive the government forward, not allow it to become an unelected blob that controls every aspect of our lives." . . .
Elon Musk noted Tuesday that if the executive can’t act, “then we don’t live in a democracy. We live in a bureaucracy". Which is where Democrats want to live, since they’ve spent years seeding the bureaucracy.They want to ensure elections don’t matter. "
