AG: Judicial reforms seriously harm checks and balances system
Arutz Sheva ^ | 2/2/23

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara issued a 112-page opinion Thursday afternoon in which she claimed that the government's proposed judicial reforms would cause "serious damage to the system of checks and balances" between the three branches of government.

Baharav-Miara submitted her position to Justice Minister Yariv Levin and the Knesset Constitution Committee.

In her opinion, the attorney general wrote: "Each of the proposed reforms, and certainly their accumulation, will lead to serious damage to the system of checks and balances between the authorities. Each of the proposed reforms raises substantial difficulties, which go to the root of the principle of the separation of authorities, judicial independence and the professionalism of the judiciary, the protection of individual rights, the rule of law, and the preservation of proper governance. Acceptance of the proposed reform will lead to a regime structure in which the executive and legislative authorities have broad and practically unlimited authority, which has no built-in response to a possible fear of misuse of legislation or Basic Laws for the purpose of circumventing judicial review, or of harming the central characteristics of the state...

Of course seriously. The right had the chutzpah to win elections, so the nonelected lawyers had to grab power to protect their world view. If legislation is proposed that takes that power back, it will obviously do terrible damage to the system (that we chiloni lawyers distorted). What could be clearer than that?

that’s a start, but to really show how bad you feel, you’ll need to throw yourself into the flames (after the kids get tossed in, of course).
One of the things I find truly incomprehensible is the Left’s willingness to declare that everything they disagree with is fascism. When our team was out of power the worst we did was to vote against legislation we would otherwise have found acceptable, because we wanted to bring down the government. We didn’t hold demonstrations/riots announcing that the government had no right to pass laws, and that the laws if passed should be violated because they weren’t legitimate.

Yesterday one of the leaders of the bar association (and so of course a lawyer) who is also a hero of the Yom Kippur war, announced at a conference that if couldn’t stop judicial reform any other way he would take up weapons and attack. He was applauded by some in his audience.

Enh. Gotta make more of the little nippers, or my wife’ll be upset with me.

Actually, I’ve farmed out the baby making to my grown children, who won’t cooperate with being offered to Molech anyway.
