History offers one very good "right" way, imo.
I'm not even joking but if this doesn't happen there's no hope for the future. we're past the point of simply prosecuting and hoping they get some time in prison. examples need to be made so others know that just because the supreme court said it's legal to do whatever the fuck you want doesn't mean you're getting away with it from the public.
I used to say "You know Monopoly is an old game, because it has rich people in prison". The moment we stopped to hold them accountable, everything went really bad. And if the legal systems don't hold them accountable, it'll be the duty of the common people.
