"No Honeymoon for Trumpism"
"Those opposed to the president-elect must start their work during his transition, not after he’s inaugurated."

Sedition:
"If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, orby force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States,or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both."
18 U.S.C. § 2384 - U.S. Code - Unannotated Title 18. Crimes and Criminal Procedure § 2384. Seditious conspiracy

Maybe the quickest way to smoke out sedition, on Day One, is to remind every federal worker of his most disliked law, and demand he immediately execute it, even on camera. E.g., do that by Executive Order: "I hereby order etc."
Then see who prevents, hinders, or delays the execution. With much… fact-gathering.
How many could be smoked out, and charged with sedition, in a week?

"the Trumpist honeymoon should be interrupted and abbreviated as much as possible, in ways that fully accord with legality and propriety."
Bill Kristol, Andrew Egger
Anon wonders: what's the legal limit here?
An Executive Order has the force of law, after all. So if an EO were to command execution of each and every unpleasant law, point-blank-and-we're watching-you, then which of "Trump's plans" can federal workers thwart, etc., without committing sedition and going to the big house for up to 20?
