'''4. Institutions themselves fail.

The Constitutionโ€™s system of checks and balances sets the various branches against each other for the laudable purpose of constraining tyranny. However, due to partisan polarization, individual corruption, or any number of other reasons, sometimes the political institutions in these arrangements fail, sending the governmental system into a crisis. This was the type of constitutional crisis commentators were seemingly referring to in describing reports that Customs and Border Protection agents (members of the executive branch) werenโ€™t following orders from the judicial branch.

In theory, clashes between different parts of government could regularly produce constitutional crises, but in reality, they often donโ€™t. Had Nixon ignored the Supreme Court ruling ordering him to turn over tapes of conversations he had recorded in the Oval Office, that would have been a huge crisis of this genre. But he didnโ€™t.

Government shutdowns are a milder example. During the brief shutdowns in the Clinton and Barack Obama years, some government functions remained in place, and in both cases, agreements were eventually reached. But these situations illustrate how the Constitution doesnโ€™t always provide safeguards or guidelines for making a decision when governing bodies reach a stalemate. The provisions of the Constitution set up political incentives for elected leaders to ensure that the government runs. When these donโ€™t work, thereโ€™s not much recourse.

 

True constitutional crises are rare. The Constitution is set up so that power is shared between the president, Congress and the courts, and between the federal government and the states. This cuts down on vacuums where no one has clear authority, instead creating situations where multiple people or institutions are empowered to act. Serious constitutional crises occur when our institutions are rendered ineffective, which is usually about politics more than process, and often has less to do with how institutions were designed than with how legitimate they are perceived to be.

The last type of constitutional crisis โ€” when different parts or branches of government are at loggerheads โ€” might be the one we are most likely to see during Trumpโ€™s administration. If Trump continues to strain democratic norms and push political boundaries, Congress, the courts or even members of his own administration could push back. Those conflicts could be resolved deliberately and thoughtfully, with an eye toward what the founders would do. Or not.'''

>2) Q is being figurative that we are moving to a new stage

2 seems most likely and if we have moved beyond the great awakening and move something like /letskickalotofass/ IM SO READY!

 

But also it could just be some weird technical difficulty that I probably wouldn't even understand. Either way I have no reason to believe that CM is compd or that he has suddenly turned against us. And I have no reason to believe that Q is compd under his new tripcode or in any other way.

 

People turning against either CM or Q are showing their true colors.
