1. Maybe the problem is.....
an Israeli Supreme Court that thinks it's not soley supreme over the other courts of the land rather over all other branches of government as well.

2. Why people say that it is the most corrupt organization?
Because Abbas, Solana and others praise the Israeli court, it does not mean that they are not corrupt.

3. Critic of the Court
I, too, am a critic of our court system.
One of the fundamental problems is that our courts have a world view of things which is a mismatch for the Jews of this country.
Our courts have tried exceedingly hard to steer us away from what is most natural for us - the Torah and the Halacha.
They have undermined the centrality of G-d in Israeli life, and have worked against promoting concepts like sanctity, religiousity and holiness.
While secular courts in Western/ Christian countries can successfully apply a separation of church and state, such a concept is anti-Jewish since Judaism is an all-encompassing approach to life with seemingly mundane legal matters as integral and integrated in our Talmud and codes as is any other aspect of our relationship with G-d.
Basically, the secular court system and particularly the Supreme Court has been hijacked by people who subscribe to the theory that the Shulchan Aruch and the vast literature of a thousand years of Jewish responsa are irrelevant to the Jewish people in the Land of Israel.
Such arrogance is doomed to failure.

6. Judicial greed for power
The Israeli Supreme Court is unfettered by a constitution, and rules by political whim. Naturally the judges are afraid of curtailment of their free-wheeling right to impose their views. The elected government must not back down on its attempt to reign in the Supreme(ly arrogant) Court.
