I don't think there are any significant guardrails left
but the Constitution.
Let me explain why:
#SCOTUS will, however, be interpreted by an all-but #MAGA-controlled #SupremeCourt.
Regarding the #JusticeDepartment and the rest of the #Judiciary, I strongly recommend reading this summary I wrote about the #DeutschesReich regarding this...

The "#DeepState" beaurocrats that corrected some of the #OrangePeril's severest assaults on the American system will quickly be replaced by 100% loyal MAGAT|s, which were vetted by the #Project2025 taskforce put in place by the #FederalistSociety.

Also, I've learned to listen when #Trump makes outrageous announcements. He often means what he says. The #purges will come. He already has a very skilled #SecretaryOfRetribution. I don't think, thought, It'll be quite as bad as during #Stalin's #SovietUnion.
