Our options are getting narrower, but I hope people will donate to the ACLU.
They will put up a legal fight wherever it is possible to do so.

The checks and balances are gone. And it will only get worse.
They were not very good to begin with because the president had way too much power and the constitution has no standards for who can run for office. Add a corrupt party to it and it's all toast.

* In addition there is no easy way to quickly get rid of an insane/corrupt head of state as there is in other parliamentary goverments.

stick a fork in it. I've heard democracy is so beat up that there will be no open casket at its funeral.
