There is no logical remedy (set of rules, rewritten constitution, whatever) that will operate against dishonest, illogical hacks. Any set of words can be ignored or twisted to meet whatever outcome the "power man" desires.

Logical remedy is going to be my next inquiry. I think the answer will be to not empower the hacks in the first place. That was the point of the anti-federalists. The Constitution created the hacks, the "power man", where there were none. There was no Federal judiciary, once upon a time.

Yeah, but if it isn't the Courts subverting the limitations, it'll be the Congress and/or the Executive. One problem we have now is that all three branches are working in cahoots, to overstep the power and authority they were granted in the first place.

In other words, you can cut the judiciary out, but Congress and/or the executive will step into the power vacuum. At some point, the people either assert a credible threat of extreme violence, or the government will prevail because IT's credible threat of extreme violence is quite real.
