Every kind of legal standard is violated: statutes, rules, common practice, precedent, everything. A deal as to who is going to win is made in the back rooms, and any ridiculous way of justifying it is accepted, no matter how illegal it is, that is ignored. End of case.

The law is completely subverted now. It's only about who has the most influence -- that's who wins almost every time.
