Israel has no constitution?
Rule by judiciary is about as ideal as rule by mullahss.
—fJRoberts-!
If they have no constitution then they should just ignore the judges.
Or just appoint anyone they want to be judges, call them the new court.
I have long been completely and thoroughly disgusted by Israel’s judicial system, most especially the fact that it appoints its own successors. What Netanyahu was trying to do was to move it more in the direction of our judiciary, in which a popularly elected, and therefore accountable, body would nominate new judges as the old ones retired or died off. Evidently, Israel’s judiciary likes their present system, which is little different from kings and dictators naming their own successors.
The fact that Israel has no constitution, and therefore no limitations upon the powers of any branch of government, is a very big problem, and should serve as a lesson to everyone in the world that actually cares about individual liberties and limiting government power. Israel’s judiciary is, indeed, a dictatorship.
Psalm 2 comes to mind...
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Just like Marbury Vs Madison did here.
Only if Netanyahu continues to be afraid of the rioting left.
Sounds like they need to impeach the judges.
Correct. Judge ignore them.
Just.
Israel is a parliamentary republic. There really aren’t any democracies in the world. We must remember, a democracy has no elected officials at all. Democracy is just we the people voting on everything. None exists, anywhere in the world.
Marking.
The high court in Israel has basically ruled that it is the ultimate authority over everything and ruled that the Knesset has no power to to tell it what it can and cannot do.
Amazing that all the leftards in Israel were demonstrating and protesting the loss of the judiciary branch’s ability to f@#$ with everyone, without regard to the other branches. Guess why? In the name of Democracy, of course.
I’m very pro-Israel. But their system of government doesn’t seem very good.
It sounds like they need remedial education about how the "power of the purse" works. A judiciary with no pay, staff, security, or building won't be very effective or influential.
