The 1789 Government had three layers of protection against unconstitutional tyranny:
1) The Congress should refuse to pass an unconstitutional law.
2) Even if passed, the Supreme Court should strike it down as unconstitutional.
3) Even if passed and signed by a corrupt President, any future President can (and ought to) simply refuse to enforce it on no other grounds than that is unconstitutional, no matter what the other branches of government think about this.
Washington, DC has long ago blown through all the protections against Tyranny that our founding fathers put into place. Therefore, by logic, DC is not the 1789 Government at all. It is just some alien occupying power, no different than if Afghanistan raided our shores and tried to set up Sharia law. It's a silly example, but the point is that no one American would have any moral objection to using artillery, tanks, fighters, drones and any known weapon against an alien invasion by the Taliban to set up Sharia law on US shores. Washington, DC is at least as constitutionally defunct as a Taliban entity posing as the US Government would be. There is no amount of force that is not authorized against such an entity in the prosecution of collective self-defense. They are the aggressors. They are pirates, brigands and traitors. No quarter.
