It is not to run every aspect of the country, set policy, micromanage the state. This situation in Israel is no different from a dictatorship. The dictator stays in power, unelected and unremovable, while the ministers do the Court's bidding and the electorate remains powerless. I can't believe I'm saying this, but my disgust is so profound that I must agree with Musharraf's replacing the Chief Justice.... Not a bad idea.

and harm is an active action .and do not need passive one but the kenesset low ,when it is rational meanes it is halfe passive

As the court is nominated and not elected, it is clear that Beinish is lying in order to conserve her immense and unjustified power

Best possible news possible to start the week. The better news will be when Beinish goes !

it's about time to get rid of the self appointed criminal High Court and institute elections to appoint judges for the High Court.

probably why powers are not separated properly nor limited properly. If this is the case, everyone can move the target a little here or there. *Correct me if I'm wrong, and explain how the court or legislature knows what's going on if there is no clear reference point.* Without a constitution, human rights become whatever you make them off to be. We've had our liberal judges do or try that. If a Judge wants to make law, he or she should run for the legislature and get off the bench. Then they will find out how popular their ideas really are.

Israel has no real constitution. New Zealand is one of the biggest pain in the patouts that Isreal has to experience. Canadian liberal are probably in their somewhere. Their judges just don't understand why our government doesn't their marijuanna down here. Does Israel really want to follow the examples of New Zealand and Canada? As G. Gordon Lidy so wisely said, "Poor laws make poor decisions." I doubt Basic Law is a substitute for the real thing.

Supreme Court President Dorit Beinish just doesn't get it. The people of this country do not have any confidence in the judiciary! When will our judges get it into their thick heads that we demand justice and not plea bargains. Criminals MUST go to jail. People who kill must be punished with minimum sentences. Allowing lawyers to kill while drunk and to get off scot-free is not acceptable! Supreme Court President Dorit Beinish MUST reform the judiciary for one reason and that is because "We the people say so!" and that is our civil right as the electorate to whom the administration is responsible.
