Hm. Off the top of my head, I'd say it's a strategic deprival of equality in Legal justice by using the power of appointment and the courts themselves to accomplish it, and for the specific purpose of removing the limitation of ''just powers'' to attempt to dispose of your political (in this case) opposition.
Could go much deeper into it, but a single run-on sentence will have to do, as it's really the extent that I'm in the mood to touch on it at the moment, given that the sun just came up and I've only had one black coffee thus far, but that's a relevant way to sum it up in effect.
