that's when president jackson overrode justice john marshall's ruling about giving treaty lands to indiansged to have said he doesn't have a treasury, he doesn't have an army, he's made his ruling, let him enforce it. therein lies the nature of the crisis. it lunges us into unknown territory. >> and not only unknown, but with many different layers to it. and i'll share what some of the other words are that have been tossed into this constitutional crisis stew. the house speaker nancy pelosi using the term "self-impeaching." bill maher saying, "we're in a permanent state of constitutional crisis," he said that last night. >> i would go back again to my expert rule. professor whittington at princeton, another scholar in this area, says there are two kinds of crises, an operational crisis where the government simply doesn't work. >> not functioning. >> we're not there. we're in gridlock legislatively but the government is carrying on its basic functions. >> what would that look like, how would that manifest itself? >> well, if the supreme court should rule trump had to turn over the unredacte

there is of course one exception, justice john marshall harland, who had been a slaveowner before the civil war. he is the voice of civil rights, because he understands racism, he understands segregation, he understands african-americans are just as entitled to constitutional rights as everybody else, but he is a lone voice, sometimes he gets two or three justices to join him for this entire period. it will only be after the beginning of world war i that we begin to get what will become, by the 1940's and 1950's, the second reconstruction in constitutional law. thank you very much.
