To the editor:
The president has finally created an actual constitutional crisis. This statement is no longer hyperbole or exaggeration. (“Trump brazenly stiff-arms the impeachment inquiry,” editorial, Oct. 8)
The defiance of the White House to the constitutional process of impeachment in the United States House of Representatives is chilling. The president brazenly challenges the power of a coequal branch of government and seeks to relegate the legislative branch to a subservient department of the executive branch.
If we are to continue as a constitutional republic and not an authoritarian dictatorship, President Trump must be removed from office. Failure in this endeavor means the end of our grand experiment.

Note from KBJ: John Rosenberg got the Democrat talking points. He dutifully used the term "constitutional crisis." By the way, John, there is no "constitutional process of impeachment" taking place. There is only the dog-and-pony show Democrats call an impeachment "inquiry." Are you paying attention? Have you read the Constitution?
