My inclination is to play the club Ace, club King, club Queen, ditching a heart. I will then cross-ruff and hope I survive a while.
I understand that the clubs may get ruffed. If the second club is ruffed, I still plan on winning some return and ditching a heart, even when the third club is also ruffed. I might survive that way anyway if LHO has Ax in trumps.
I don't know if this is ideal, but it is what I would do in practice at the table.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

I would probably just take the ♣A and play towards the ♠Q. Then take the ♠K and play to lose just 3 trumps. Didn't check it, but I think it wins on all 3-2 breaks and a couple 4-1s.
