Yes, but that didn't happen overnight. The authoritarian creep had been happening long before, but it's important to remember that they don't yet have total control; they can do a lot of horrible things with impunity, certainly, but they need to keep up appearances and move more slowly with other things so they have less resistance from whatever remains of the judiciary.
