It can also be obvious, said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the law school at the University of California, Berkeley.
“We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis right now,” he said on Friday. “There have been so many unconstitutional and illegal actions in the first 18 days of the Trump presidency. We never have seen anything like this.”
His ticked off examples of what he called President Trump’s lawless conduct: revoking birthright citizenship, freezing federal spending, shutting down an agency, removing leaders of other agencies, firing government employees subject to civil service protections and threatening to deport people based on their political views.
That is a partial list, Professor Chemerinsky said, and it grows by the day. “Systematic unconstitutional and illegal acts create a constitutional crisis,” he said.

Sure, great time to concentrate on the shades of meaning of some academic phrase. It sounds like there might be a problem with a piece of paper perhaps? What if these definitions are wrong? Maybe we should devote front page space to this academic debate for the next few weeks?
How about “Trump’s actions are a fascist takeover”. Nice and simple.
