    If a regulator enforces a law against you that the court has deemed unconstitutional, you can sue the regulator for damages with the expectation that the court will be on your side.

    The more obvious “built in” option is for the president to pack the court.

          Nah it’s just a Constitutional Crisis. But we’ve been through this drill before. As long as you only ignore one or two key rulings it’s pretty mild.

          Our branches of government are supposed to keep each other from going too far. It’s literally in the system design documents.
