I wasn't there, so I don't know who was threatened by who. There are a lot of sources that do support the claim that no law was broken, and that judges could challenge the nazi agenda. But they didn't. Were they bought, intimidated, convinced? It's not really my job to prove it.
Literal historical books written by historians describe these events in details.
> There are a lot of sources that do support the claim that no law was broken,
Not really, there are not. Most sources just simply do not go into details.

In the actual stage I am writing about, no they could not oppose anything. Violent crack down on any political opposition happened right after takeover of power. The first nazi victims were pro-democratic and left wing politicians or sympathisers.
Moreover, lower government was overfilled by ex-soldiers, per law. That made them biased toward whoever they perceived patriotic and generally right wing.
> Not really, there are not. Most sources just simply do not go into details.
The question is do such details even matter. Even Stalin's communism can be disregarded if we'll start detailing it out: we can arrive at the conclusion that it was not real communism, therefore communism is good.
> The first nazi victims were pro-democratic and left wing politicians or sympathisers.
And not communists? Unless you think communism is leftwing and pro-democratic, I know there are people who think this way.
So it was just a regular ordinary political party, with a few extremist agendas in their campaign platform.
Rose to dominance doing whatever it takes, not entirely by popular demand.
Used a political machine to leverage growing new mass-media availability, to craft a cult-of-personality whose rhetoric over the media creates a feedback loop, empowering the cult to grow, simply in blind support of the figurehead. The followers gain a sense of belonging, and are constantly reinforced and assured they need to follow their idol's wishes, wherever that may lead. Ending up following way beyond the extent which could be in the citizens' best interest.
Another day, another misguided political party, and their attention-seeking media-exaggerated influencer acting as if they possess leadership ability.
