There are at least 4 branches of gov’t, not 3.

Executive, Legislative, Judicial and Regulatory.

"What do we do about it?"

Talk, i.e., nothing.

The actions are what will be done to us. We will be enslaved and killed. Pretty obvious.

There is only one thing to do.
We know what that one thing is.
And we aren’t going to do it.

Knock some heads? Some harder than others?

Regarding that last:

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

Enough said.

It’s either win it back at the voting booths , something the ‘TEA Party’ has been doing the last two cycles of major elections, or be prepared for civil insurrection down the road and more drones than ya can shake a stick at, the media will of course cover it with a liebral slant&spin in either case.. The entanglement of leftists thruout the branches and courts and the purposes originally intended for are vastly different from anything we have ever seen abused in such a way.. or have we?

There is nothing new under the sun, even Revolution.

GiDDYUP!

"Knock some heads"

No flame but you're not going to do that so why say it?

The king George solution ought to be put on the table.

On the subject of addressing the problem a disarming of the Federal army seems an essentially task. I think we should support a massive cut down of the Federal army & airforce.

Starting with those officers who have showed themselves willing follow unlawful orders of Obama. We should hedge our bets by transferring as much of the assets as possible to the various State National guards. Thus both arming our States & preserving our defense.

I'd like to welcome the good judge to the party.
It's mind-boggling to realize what PC and misguided tolerance will do to a normal adult brain.

I have been asking that very question since Obamacare was being discussed and illegally adopted as a phony bill. Right here on FR.
I asked questions as to who has standing to get an emergency hearing from the Supreme Court when the 'Rats locked the Republicans out of the discussion.

Total silence.

What good is asking the question four years too late?

"What do we do about it? "
I think there's some clues in the Declaration of Independence ...

Therein lies the answer.
No tyranny can long survive without an endless supply of unjust bureaucrats.
No group can be more effortlessly unjust than the ignorant.

What does that suggest?

"...whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."

The States were supposed to be the fourth branch of government. Then we look at a place like California and see its government acting in total regard of the law, insanely so.

“What do we do about it?”

Well, we could stop supporting it financially. The government would surrender pretty fast if faced with a tax revolt.

For sure voting isn’t working.

The States created the Federal Government and the States have the power to change it via a Constitutional Convention. This convention could create several new amendments that would severely limit the responsibilities and power of the Federal Government. I’d also like to see a new amendment which would allow the states to nullify any court action that is clearly contrary to the original meaning as written by the founders.

...this summer, the Supreme Court rewrote the Rule of Law. What do we do about it?

Well instead of inciting people to rebellion, why not urge them to learn the law? Seeing as you're a judge and all. But then again, blood is always easier when it's someone elses, eh Andrew?

For those of you whose blood "judge" Napolitano finds convenient, here's an alternative: knowledge for peaceful and lawful change.
