alt Hacker NewsBut the trouble is judges are human, and if the boss of your boss who could shut down your court and turf you out is loudly proclaiming "will nobody rid me of this troublesome Russian"... what lawful ruling will the judge find to appease their master?
The other thing that sprang to mind was the US interning their own citizens in camps. Would you be in favour of internment camps across Europe for all citizens with any Russian heritage, preemptively locking them up in case they might provide succor to The Enemy?
You are making an argument against any kind of rule of law in general. If somebody powerful can say to a judge "will you please sentence this competitor of mine to life in prison" and he complies, that's the same problem. But judges in Western countries are very rarely that corrupt, and thus rule of law functions.
