During a debate at the Virginia Military Institute on Tuesday, two law professors were asked about a charge that has become a frequent refrain among Democrats despite a flurry of strong legal victories for the Trump administration this year: Is the United States in a constitutional crisis under President Donald Trump?

The Steamboat Institute’s debate resolution, “Be it resolved, the U.S. is experiencing a constitutional crisis,” featured Boston College law professor Daniel Farbman in support and Jonathan Turley, the J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro professor of public interest law at George Washington University, in opposition. Steamboat Institute Tony Blankley Fellow Kaylee McGhee White moderated.
