Forum:KB:Jacen Solo's Law

I'm a bit confused about the law Jacen pushes for in Sacrifice which, through a "loophole," would allow him to change existing laws. Can someone explain what this loophole was? Even if there was one, after the law was passed and Jacen began using it for his ends, wouldn't the courts be able to rule that law unconstitutional? The Galactic Alliance Common Charter increased checks and balances, and given that it would basically be giving a form of legislative authority to one individual, I find it hard that the courts wouldn't at least consider the validity of the "law". Lastly, I find it incredibly hard to believe that the Charter would be vulnerable to such a gaping loophole that could be exploited in such a way in the first place. Is there any information out there that can shed some light on this? Granted, I haven't read through all of Fate of the Jedi yet, so I apologize if this is addressed in that series. We could really benefit from an Essential Guide to Galactic Politics and Law.
