Remember that the Constitution doesn't say that the ENTIRE judiciary has to be proven to be corrupted before implementing Military Tribunals.
The Constitution says that, where the civil judicial system is non-functioning, Military Tribunals can replace that system. Corruption = non-functioning.
One could show that 46 of the 50 States have functioning judicial systems, and 4 do not. One could show that every major U.S. city has a functioning judiciary except for 6 major cities. One can show that every county in California or Illinois has a functioning judiciary except for 10 counties.
Nothing in the Constitution says that it's all or nothing. Where the civil judicial system is non-functioning, military tribunals may replace that system until it becomes functional.
