yankel > you seem to be [sorry] ok with

I am not ok with this. I am saying they are playing within a certain political system of rules. Political system depends on political will, especially when the system is not perfectly defined. Historical example from USA SC. Number of judges is not defined. When FDR started controversial reforms in 1930s and SC was vetoing them, he threatened to simply increase number of seats and appoint additional judges. This was undefined in the reasonably well-defined American system. It wolud have been de-stabilizing, as the next president would do the same and double number of judges again. There was political backlash, and FDR did not do that, but also SC changed their behavior.

Same thing here – if 60% of population would see SC actions as illegitimate, politicians would create a way to stop them. It is possible that voters do not care for the law and just want their side to have an advantage. That is an even bigger problem then with the civil society and you need to work to educate people about that. Calmly, with arguments, without shouting explain that healthy democracy requires a well-defined rule of law. Run candidates and advertisement that talk about that instead of demanding handouts for your group.
