Has the much anticipated constitutional crisis finally arrived? Chris puts this question into a historical context by remembering some of the egregious actions of the Bush administration, which was, let us not forget, basically installed in a judicial coup that bypassed the will of the people. Still, even against that dreadful standard, there is something extraordinary about the Trump regime, currently encouraging a confrontation with the judicial branch over the question of whether it can send people to lifetime incarceration in a foreign country without any due process.
