Utterly impossible given the moving goalposts.

We should institute a Constitutional amendment that all changes in the law be deferred until after the next State- or Country-wide election, or 2 years, whichever is greater.

Constitutional amendments themselves should be reviewed by the appropriate Supreme Court (State or federal) for constitutionality before being submitted to the electorate. Thereby, possibly, ensuring integrity.
