> Reinstituting rule-of-law (not just Trump; the whole system)

It's probably more correct to just say instituting. While Trump has certainly turned the rule of law on its head, it's a not-so-secret secret that the law has never really applied to the rich and powerful. If we're already going to be making fixes, we should make a real effort to honor the rule of law.

That would necessarily include things like reforming bail and fines so they scale properly with ability to pay, especially in the case of corporate fines.
