Tea Party voters can do no better than backing the right guy with the guts and the principles:
Executive orders, memos, bureaucratic regulations, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, can be erased as easily as they are written. Wrapping a rule in a piece of legislation and mailing it to the United Nations makes repeal a little more difficult:
Butchering a destructive piece of legislation is difficult, but not impossible, as Krauthammer recently pointed out:
Conservative Tea Partiers have the best chance they will ever get of a laying a double-whammy on liberalism.
1. The right president in 2017.
2. A veto proof Congress for insurance.
Finally, Tea Party conservatives, indeed, Americans from across the political landscape, should have no trouble comparing Ted Cruz to one of Silent Cal’s pearls of wisdom:
“President Obama is fond of saying he has a pen and he has a phone,” Cruz said. “Well, live by the pen and die by the pen. Every illegal executive action that he puts in place can be undone in an instant by the next president through the same mechanism. The proper avenue for creating law in this country is not unilateral decree. It is rather passing legislation through Congress that is signed into law by president pursuant to the dictates of the Constitution.”

Executive orders, memos, bureaucratic regulations, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, can be erased as easily as they are written. Wrapping a rule in a piece of legislation and mailing it to the United Nations makes repeal a little more difficult:
On Monday, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said the agency had designed power plant rules under the authority of the Clean Air Act - and insisted that they can withstand Supreme Court scrutiny.
"We don’t need a plan B if we are solid on our plan A," she said.
But Jeff Holmstead, a lawyer representing utilities industries for Bracewell & Giuliani and former assistant administrator of the EPA under George W Bush, says even if the courts uphold the EPA proposal on power plants, a future Republican administration can reverse it.
"There are some EPA rules that are very difficult for a new administration to change but this is not one of those rules," Holmstead said. He calculates that at least five high court justices are wary of the EPA's regulatory leeway.
Environmental groups, on the other hand, were more confident that Obama's measures cannot be reversed by the courts or politics.
“The Clean Air Act has proven to be quite durable," said David Waskow, director of international initiatives for the World Resources Institute. "While elements may be slowed or modified by legal challenges, they are rarely overturned.”

Butchering a destructive piece of legislation is difficult, but not impossible, as Krauthammer recently pointed out:
Charles Krauthammer in the first 2:12 of the youtube offers a way to stop Gina McCarthy from legislating:
. . . pass a single one line of piece legislation that says the Clean Air Act of 1970 was never intended and will not apply to atmospheric carbon dioxide.
