This type of opposition is something I really like. Almost always there's a way of taking the power away from someone which doesn't entail direct confrontation or conflict. It usually entails going through the 'back door' and taking the power away in a way the power monger is incapable of stopping.

It's kind of like Wiley Coyote and the Roadrunner. Let Norquist hang there in mid air off the cliff so he falls because of his own actions.
