After all, the Sibyl System would seem to be composed mostly or entirely of sociopaths of the criminal sort (since a non-violent sociopath would not be caught and brought in), and who in their right mind would turn their government and judiciary over to a bunch of murderers? They didn't even bother removing free will from the brains.

It really doesn't matter which government branch is responsible. The main issue is what to do about it.
The population is practically glued together socially by faith in Sibyl. Even though it is best to dismantle it ASAP, by a grenade if it comes to it, there is a serious question of the aftermath.
How do you recreate an entire country's laws from scratch? And to suddenly re-educate everyone? How do you teach self-control when people are used to have their actions determined by what they assumed to be an omnipotent being?
How to prevent the worst case scenario of anarchy?
It might be best to shut down Sibyl but pretend it didn't happen. The population is too stupid to notice the change unless you tell them. The advantage of a faith based Theocracy is that you can change the one in charge and the peons won't even notice. Unplug the psycho brains, have normal humans make decisions, and slowly create a new system of government over time. It would be a dictatorship in the beginning, but that's not any different from what they have right now.
