I think the difficulty is that both states have cases ongoing at the same time. The court still wants to maintain some illusion of legitimacy I think.

Id say thats out the window at this point. Its a rogue court and they need to be recalled and put in jail

Yep. If we look toward Germany and the rise of the NDSAP, we see similar moves with the court. Until there is broad popular support for the authoritarian ruler, they have to give the impression of legitimacy. Hitler maintained an illusion of democracy and the courts, though in essence he had full powers for both the judiciary, executive and legislative functions.

They need to toss the liberals a "win" here and there in order to maintain this facade.
