One problem with Canon Law is that it changes. E.g., the Piobenedictine code made illegitimacy an impediment to Holy Orders, That was in 1919. Karol Woytyla in his papacy's changes to canon law eliminated the impediment. At any point Canon Law could declare the papacy as just one more court or jurisdiction, so that the Pope is not the absolute judge. After observing Gordo Bergoglio's rule there are those who would want canonically to eliminate the "absolute" judge from the Pope's office.

Canon law is, for all practicality, meaningless when the head of the Faith disregards it arbitrarily and is a law unto himself.

Bergoglio isn't the "head of the Faith" he's merely the temporary helmsman of the barque of Peter. Jesus Christ is the head of the Faith and He will hold Bergoglio accountable for his many sins in due time. Jorge's thumbing of his nose at Canon Law, the Faith and Almighty God Himself won't go unpunished in the life to come.
