Hitler’s atrocities were all made possible by the Enabling Act of 1933, where the Reichstag allowed Hitler to make laws - even unconstitutional laws - without any input from the Reichstag. The Reichstag voluntarily gave up its check on Hitler. ...

We don't need an Enabling Act. There already are EO's, and the executive branch's alphabet soup of regulatory agencies [EPA, FDA, Dept of Energy, Dept of Education, etc]. Congress has been completely unwilling to use it's 'power of the purse' and defund them.

Congress needs to realize that it is their JOB to obstruct somebody who is making an unconstitutional power grab. Their obstruction of tyranny is the only protection we the people have. By giving up that necessary role - however they do it - they are leaving we the people and our form of government defenseless.

If the Congress-critters had been taking their role as a check and balance seriously we would never have ended up with somebody like Eric Holder as the top cop, able to obstruct all federal law enforcement.

We would never have ended up with SCOTUS justice Elena Kagan - a person who pressured a physicians’ group to alter 180-degrees its testimony in the Stenberg v Carhart court case and who has since refused to recuse herself from a case where her position as SCOTUS justice was at issue and a case where she had actually developed the arguments for the defendants.

These Congress-critters who think their job is to just get along and be civil seem totally unprepared to battle for the existence of this country. It’s like they’ve inflicted upon themselves ROE’s that only allow them to watch while the enemy comes in and shoots us all.
