The political philosopher Edmund Burke once remarked that all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good folks to do nothing. A glaring example of the impending triumph of a constitutional evil that could be stopped by folks who have been largely silent is the tyranny coming from the White House. And the folks who can stop this and are doing nothing about it are our elected representatives in Congress And yet, some 'Republicans' would say we need to stop our in-fighting in the hopes of re-electing do nothing RINOs that have quietly put up with this tyrant for years.
Instead of engineering legislative maneuvers to stop him, they engineer backstabbing show votes that are a designed-to-fail fait accompli that also lies to constituents. And yet, we still hear many, many people espousing that we can only prosper and get rid of this man and Obamacare through REELECTING the same people, AGAIN! Hold your nose and pull that lever - again, and again and again.
If the RINOS and the RINOS we are to keep reelecting are so ineffectual, how come one determined Senator can thwart all their carefully laid plans as Cruz did with making McConnell and Cornyn show their true [turn]coats?
I'm not buying it. I'm not gonna hold my nose, and I'm not going to appease along with them.

Why are the linguini-spined Pubbies and RINOs sitting silent? Because we rank and file conservative, patriotic Americans aren't yanking their chains, and threatening their jobs if they don't get moving. Grab the picket signs, put on your comfortable shoes, and head down to their local offices. They'll get busy when the protest headlines the evening news on Channel 2, or 7, or 13, or whatever your local station is.
If they're not doing what we want them to do, why aren't we forcing them to do what we want them to do?

Thanks Kaslin. A very good article. I’ve always liked Judge Napolitano. I’m always interested in what he has to say.

The elements are slowly coming together to turn things around. Can’t happen soon enough.
