    We have a set of ironclad rules: laws. But they can’t be enforced when a majority of the institutions charged with enforcing them are intent on subverting them instead.

    The only way you could make this work is by making, say, the Department of Justice a separate and co-equal branch of the government, with its leader nominated and voted on by federal judges, completely detached from the normal political process. And that would require amending the Constitution.
