Then we are in deep trouble. We'd have lots of demonstrations in the streets, put new people into Congress, and eventually hold a Constitutional Convention to patch up the Constitution. It would take a long time and might be bloody and might even ruin the US. But I believe that the founding fathers saw this possibility and designed the system to keep this from happening. In particular, the SCOTUS is darned serious; they understand with crystal clarity the threats to the Constitution and the US. Their main job is to defend the Constitution. To this end, they are plenty bright, are awash in power and independence, have plenty of resources, and do have the respect of the citizens. So, I believe that the SCOTUS will do the right things.
