Israel now has no SUPREME court

It really is. And it is exactly the same for us. It's up to the voters. As cliche as that sounds, it is the one thing that we can do to stop this nonsense. I think that will happen in 2024.

Agreed. I'm also curious to see if the American Pedo Nazis win in 2024 or if Americans decide they prefer democracy. :)
 
Strange confluence as Tisha B’Av starts this week

Tish'a B'Av for Hebrew Year 5783 begins at sundown on Wednesday, 26 July 2023 and ends at nightfall on Thursday, 27 July 2023 . Tisha B'Av (Hebrew: תשעה באב ..



Tisha B'Av, is observed beginning Wednesday night, July 26th. On Tisha B’Av, Jews hold a day of communal fasting and mourning. Originally, this holiday memorialized the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, but it has since become an occasion for remembering and emotionally processing the staggering sweep of calamities that have befallen the Jewish people over more than two millennia, from the destruction of the Temple to the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the pogroms and the Holocaust.

Its an entire parliament that is actually elected. This pretends that it makes Netanyahu the legislature, it doesn't... It simply gives legislative power back to the legislature.

Gives it back to people who no longer have checks and balances. Can you imagine if the House is America had free reign?

4 hours ago — Two prominent professors are urging President Biden to thwart US Supreme ... in interpreting and enforcing the Constitution — as a solution.

The far left loons on this forum would probably support these two nutty profs.

One of these nutters is a Harvard law professor.

“In practice, the president who disagrees with a court’s interpretation of the Constitution should offer and then follow an alternative interpretation.“

A Harvard law professor!

To Hell with the three co-equal branches of government.

The Executive Branch could overrule the Judicial Branch.

More proof Earl's clock doesn't have all of its numbers.

Yeah, see this post.

I'm pretty sure that the Supreme Court will rule that the "reasonableness law" is "Unreasonable" and that this will cause the courts and their legislature to be at odds to each other. (Often you'll read that the "courts and the government will be at odds", but those are two heads of one hydra). There are likely some portion of the IDF that will walk away and refuse to serve if Netanyahu simply ignores that ruling.

Instead of stripping them of any ability to overturn laws, they should define the limits of government so that they can rule on the actual constitution rather than just deciding politically that a law is "unreasonable" without any basis on which to rule that way. It is also interesting that the Supreme Court there self appoints, ensuring an infinite political majority causing folks to believe that there is an imbalance that needs to be corrected there.

IMHO, when only the members in your own coalition vote for something and the rest walk out what you are doing is very likely "unreasonable"... LOL.

While I understand the concerns, stripping them of all authority at all ensure that the representatives can run roughshod over the rights of the citizens. I would likely be against this reform, insisting on one that confirms rights and limits the powers of the government. A solid, written, existing constitution can overcome much of this kind of stuff by any legislature. The "executive" is always a member of the majority coalition in the Knesset there, so this basically makes Israel democratic in the same way you could say it is democratic to force sheep to vote in an election to decide what's for dinner when wolves and bears have a majority coalition.

The reality is that the Israeli Supreme Court has no check on its powers and uses them politically. I get why folks want some change to it, but this particular change pretty much removes any check on the legislature/executive (which is effectively one branch in Israel). When two branches of government exist, one of which is self appointed and solidly and permanently one sided (their Supreme Court is self appointed, new members are selected by the current Court instead of appointed and approved by the other branch [again, the legislature and executive are pretty much the same branch as the executive is always a member of the majority coalition], ensuring one political party is constantly in control of the Court) you have a permanent imbalance, one that they are trying to address, but in a way that is overtly political. They should not remove any check on their power, or the Citizens of Israel will suffer (if not now, they will certainly suffer rights violations eventually).
 
The Israeli government WAS CREATED THAT WAY FROM THE BEGINING


They constructed the government with their SC BEING THE ONE TO PROTECT PERSONAL RIGHTS


now no part of the Israeli government can protect individual rights

And he would have simply ignored that. A coup can only be stopped if there are people willing to stop it. My hope is that these nationwide protests will make him come to his senses, but I don't buy the idea that the Constitution would protect us from a dictator wanabee with support of the power brokers. What would happen if, say, Trump came in with a willing congress, added 10 seats to the court, and appointed Ted Cruz, Rudy. etc, etc. How is the Constitution going to protect us? The answer is; it won't.

The 2nd amendment might, but typically the Left doesn't take out presidents.
