If the rationals ever get power back, they need to purge all presidential emergency powers and/or put guardrails on them and provide for judicial review of those guardrails.

Emergency powers.... Being used to seize power from a democratic government?

Any democracy fails when one party fails to follow the norms that exist outside the laws and processes. Judicial review? Meaningless when one party is all in on deferring to their god-king.

You know right now the excuse for even some of the lower courts is that when the pres is given unfettered emergency discretion, the courts can't review it?

Even when the "emergency" is clearly counterfactual.  Although the Fifth Circuit just couldn't bring itself to do it.
