Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said President Donald Trump’s escalating attacks on the judiciary have resulted in a constitutional crisis in the United States.

In an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Schumer assailed Trump’s recent calls to impeach a judge who ruled against him in a case involving his efforts to deport Venezuelan immigrants. Judges and plaintiffs in some cases have accused Trump of violating or sidestepping court orders as he faces a litany of legal challenges to his executive actions.

When asked if he agrees with scholars who say the U.S. is in a constitutional crisis, Schumer responded, “Yes, I do.”

“And democracy is at risk. Look, Donald Trump is a lawless, angry man. He thinks he should be king. He thinks he should do whatever he wants, regardless of the law, and he thinks judges should just listen to him,” Schumer told moderator Kristen Welker. The full interview will air on “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

1. I'm only chuckling because I heard a clip of Schumer being interviewed

by Chris Hayes and seeming not to understand that our country was in a crisis. Hayes sounded like his hair was on fire trying to get through to Schumer. I guess he's getting the message.

[question everything]

2. His PBS interview was better. No "Gotcha"
