One reason that Julius Caesar rose to power was because their Senate and tribunes just kept vetoing anything that would have helped solve their problems. If a judge can just tell you "No" for just about anything, then that is where the power lies.

The only options are to try and tear down that power structure, or use it to your own advantage. The "conservative right" wouldn't dare "abusing" their power like it's been used against them, and until that changes they will continue to be denied any meaningful improvement.

If a judge can just tell you "No" for just about anything, then that is where the power lies.

And prior to this year, it wasn't more than a small rumbling that activist judges were a problem on the level that they can literally hold down the president from acting in so many ways. And now its a mainstream talking point. Which is my point, Musk's actions, among many Trump appointees, showed where a lot of the safety nets preventing us from just cutting the problem out are, and now we need to actually solve that problem.

It would have been great if we could have just solved it directly. But this is a century of set in rot and the government bureaucracy, so that was always a pipedream.

I'm not certain the Right, even Trump, is willing to do what is necessary for that but now we at least have forced them out of the shadows to think about. But then, he took the learning from losing 2020 and brought forth an army to dismantle it in the next election, so there is a possibility.
