Like a congressional department of justice, a congressional law enforcement arm, and a law removing the president from control of military appointments and nominations.

If SCOTUS goes completely rogue and just declares Congress to be unconstitutional then all bets are off. And yeah that’s scary. But within the rules there are still things that could be done.
