The system is designed to withstand sudden popular changes, to protect from rogue populists or sudden radicalization. It's all built on the premise that Congress, the President, and the Court would want a stable, beneficent government. But when a major faction is intent on destroying that system, and spends decades hammering away at it, their destructive influence is difficult to undo.
