...is there anything that anyone, the Congress, the Judiciary, the voters can actually do to reign in this insanity?

It is gonna eventually depend on the Supremes....

--The GOP in congress is afraid of primaries (and maybe even physical violence from the MAGAs) and is unwilling to stand up. There is a bit of leverage for the Dems over the budget in March, but it is going to take an election to have any impact.

--I was encouraged recently by a post about contempt sanctions available to judges (but rarely used.) In particular, judges are able to seize or freeze assets of folks in contempt. Imagine a judge freezing SpaceX finances. There is nothing Trump can do about a judicial contempt citation. And other businesses/banks will follow a judge's orders or find themselves in contempt. (Appellate courts and the Supremes might intervene though)

--the Bond market/stock market might have an impact if things become grave enough. Trump pays attention... and,

--I think citizens will eventually end up in the streets. We shall see if he tries to use the military

I admit these are fairly thin reeds.
