Democrats Jump the Shark: The Latest Claims of a Constitutional Crisis Will Not Lead to “Happier Days”

Below is my column in the New York Post on the growing claim of a “constitutional crisis” over the Trump reforms. It is the latest political jump scare to see if it will rouse the public. It seems, again, to be backfiring as polling shows Trump with record approval levels and widespread support for reducing government.

Here is the column:

Forty years ago, a radio personality coined the phrase “jump the shark” in reference to the episode of the sitcom “Happy Days” in which the character Fonzie (Henry Winkler) jumps over a live shark on water skis. The term is often applied to dying franchises that turn to sensational language or scenes to try to revive the fading interest of the public. More often, you jump the shark and land in utter obscurity.

This week, the Democratic Party jumped the shark.

For years, Dems and their allies pushed the absurd claim that democracy was about to die if Joe Biden or Kamala Harris was not elected president. The public wasn’t buying it. In 2024, Donald Trump won a majority of the voters as well as control of both houses of Congress.

What parts of the US Constitution are Trump and Elon Musk violating?

Show me the written text in the US Constitution and Federal Laws (passed by Congress and signed by the US President) that they are violating.

The 'Inflation Reduction Act' gave the Executive unaccountable piles of money to throw around at the whim of the then Executive, Joe Biden.  New Executive, new whims.

For a body so full of lawyers, Congress is clueless about its intended role to check and balance the Executive and the Judiciary.

Congressional Dems thought they had the Executive and Judicial branches in their back pockets, and they have given the Judiciary and the Executive too much discretion when their people were in power.

The pendulums of history swing both ways.  What works for the Dems when they are in power will work for Republicans when they are in power.  That was the mistake of the Pelosi-Reid-Obama-Biden junta.  They thought Dems would remain in power for perpetuity.
