Technically it's not a loophole, because the supreme court can legally rule out such legislation (that contradicts existing laws, for example). However, current minister of justice declared the goverment will not "accept" that, and will treat it as a coup detat (which is what said goverment is being accused of; very common rhetoric by our right wing politicians). That's where the tanks, or the threat of, come in. In addition to the accumulating erosion of judiciary independence in the past decade, we don't have much assurance from that direction.
