If that is to happen, who would enforce the rulings? The DOJ is not neutral and will likely abide to the wishes of the Administration

Ultimately, Congress.

But the odds of getting the majority vote in the Republican-controlled House and 2/3 majority vote in the Republican-controlled Senate required to remove Trump from office are unlikely to be any better.

At least not until Republican primary voters start voting out pro-Trump Republicans in favor of candidates who don't pledge unwavering loyalty to a President who openly opposes institutions they (the voters) hold dear, like the free market, say, or the Pope.

Or just bite the bullet and vote for a Democrat they may agree with less, but trust more.

I wouldn’t say “would likely abide”, I would say “will abide” based on their actions. They are nothing but an extension of the Trump administration at this point.
