It is the product of the presidential challenge of law and judicial decisions. It is not binary: it is a slope, not a switch. It can be cumulative, and once you start, you can get worse.
This can also be obvious, said Erwin Chemendnsky, dean of the Law of the University of California in Berkeley.
“We are lately in the midst of a constitutional crisis,” he said on Friday. “There have been so many unconstitutional and illegal movements in the first 18 days of Trump’s presidency. We have never noticed like that.
