How do we stop this monster?

This morning on his radio show, Greg Garrison was talking to his guest Jed Babbin about how to stop the Most Equal Comrade.  It's becoming more clear by the hour that the MEC cares not a whit for any constitutional restraints on his position.  Garrison made the great point, and Babbin concurred - and it's something I've pointed out here at LITD - that it was unwise in the extreme for McConnell to take government shutdown off the table in his very first presser as Majority Leader Elect.  You don't tell the enemy what you are not going to do.

This is especially true when your enemy has every intention of creating his way forward out of whole cloth.  See post - and linked article in it - from earlier today about how he intends to further weaponize the EPA.

There were two articles yesterday - one by Ryan Lovelace at NRO and one by Michael Warren at The Weekly Standard - that point out the tricky junctures at which Congressional Pubs will find themselves if they try to employ a starve-the-beast approach to stopping executive-order amnesty for illegal aliens.  Continuing resolution or long-term plan?

But, as Garrison and Babbin pointed out, the MEC is so far gone, so ate up with the potential of his position for the exercising of completely unchecked power, that depriving him of the funding for amnesty, or EPA regs, or Freedom-Hater-care or anything else might not even make him blink.

And, of course, impeachment is a non-starter.  Post-America is not going to try, convict and fire the first black president.  Ain't gonna happen.

So has the MEC, through sheer brute force, sheer contempt for the Constitution that created his job, nullified the results of last Tuesday's election?

I know this: It's never been more crucial to sideline the squishes and the Reasonable Gentlemen and put warriors in charge.  The domestic enemy - the MEC and the Democrat party - is more insidious than the foreign ones, because it's inside the gates.  We are in the position of Hamlet.  We know what Gertrude's husband is all about, even as he sleeps in Claudius's bed every night.

Let us not dither and wind up with a stage full of dead people, as was the fate of the young prince.
