Sure, if you assume their "political enemies" are the Republicans. Rather than assume incompetence; because, you're right, this is a pretty glaring oversight that only bumbling incompetence could begin to explain away; you could make a much more fitting assessment with the "political enemy" being the working class. That is who this law is being wielded against, the only ones who were ever threatened by it, along with being completely disempowered to abuse it against the ruling class who passed it. Those are the enemies that fit your description.
