    Possible consequences (copied from Russia, 1993):

    • tanks fire at parliament, speaker of parliament urges air force to bomb the Kremlin (they didn’t)
    • subsequently, the president gets powers resembling a monarch, and installs the next president, who evolves into a president-for-life

    How to avoid -> most likely, refusal of all agencies to follow an order that a court has struck down. But for this to work, mass replacement of public officials with loyalists must be prevented.
