All of the problems of past 4 years were already completely illegal according to any reasonable/common sense interpretation of the US constitution (and international law and laws of most countries). It didn't matter - the govt has been doing unconstitutional things for a very long time with impunity.

My guess is the only way to swing this is if the full details of the many horrors come fully into the open coupled with truly massive unprecedented givernmrnt-toppling public outrage. At that point I suspect one would suddenly find prosecutors competing in willingness to prosecute and judges willing to convict - all under the existing laws, which of course say you can't lock people in their homes, close their businesses, or forcibly inject them with poison, or any of the other nonsense we've endured.
But without mass public acknowledgement of what has happened, and 1945-level public outrage, it will be difficult to see any accountability no matter what any laws say.
