For nearly three years, President Trumps critics have warned that there might come a point when we face a genuine constitutional crisis, one that threatens our very Democratic system. That constitutional crisis has arrived.
The White House has released an extraordinary letter from White House Counsel Pat Cipollone to congressional Democrats, a document that will live on in infamy from this day forward as evidence of how profoundly Trump corrupted the office of the president and everyone around him.
Despite the fact that it appears under the signature of the chief lawyer of the White House, the letter reads like some combination of a deeply misinformed seventh-graders social studies paper and a rant from Sean Hannity, randomly tossing around terms like civil liberties and separation of powers without any apparent understanding of what they mean.

With this letter Trump is saying "I am king" and there's nothing you can do about it!
Frankly, I don't think we can.

It's really horrific having someone blithe that in the White House.
