I don't think it's accurate to say the courts were in opposition to the PS government. PiS appointed lots of their own judges in their years in power who often decided along lines that PiS wanted. The biggest example of course being the Constitutional Tribunal.

Sure there were judges who opposed PiS, but there were plenty who did not. This guy, who is now in Belarus, is an example of one of PiS's pet judges

Sure, but - again AFAIK - the judges issuing the warrants weren't the judges appointed by PiS.

I have seen no evidence either way on that.
