You write EO's, and dare lawsuits to intervene. When they do you write another EO.

You defy them. Texas is doing it. So can we.

You hold them up to public scrutiny. You laugh at them and ridicule them. They are diminishing their branch of government. Marbury v. Madison is not cast in stone. It's not in the Constitution, and even if it were, SCOTUS is ruling that means little, daily.

You grab Congress and hold it. Investigate and write counter legislation.

But you don't want to destroy the institution either. You want it intact for a future liberal majority.
