Israeli Supreme Court
Especially with an election on the way.
Declaring the constitution unconstitutional.
Sacred cows and sacred spaces.
What laws will it overturn next?
Unintended consequences.
The people have already spoken.
A showdown between the judicial and legislative branches may be inevitable.
The conflict between the judiciary and the legislature puts Israel in a situation without clear precedents.
Its edict crippling lame-duck governments has led voters to rally around Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Israelis against judicial imperialism want a prime minister, even one under corruption charges, seeking legal reform.
Netanyahu’s opponents are wrong to put their hopes in the legal system.
A step toward making Israel more democratic.
The Supreme Court shouldn’t give in to illiberal impulses.
The game the Court is playing is “heads I win, tails you lose.”
