Norquist has publicly proclaimed, “I’m not in favor of abolishing the government. I just want to shrink it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.” To this end he is coercing elected officials to act in a manner detrimental to this country. As sedition is "overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority to tend toward insurrection against the established order," a case can be made that Norquist's actions are seditious at worst, short-sighted and breathtakingly arrogant at best.
