Michael Starr Jerusalem Post, Feb. 3, 2023 “What we are seeing now is part of the backlash to that because a lot of the people now would say the inland Supreme Court became too active,” explained Gross. “And [they would say] ‘we want to kind of bring the power back to the people rather than […]
Dan McClaughlin National Review, Mar. 28, 2023 “The Biden administration, which never misses an opportunity to attack judicial review by independent courts in the United States or treat foreign policy as a proxy war against domestic enemies, has taken sides against the judicial overhaul.” Be thankful that America has a written Constitution.

WARNING BELLS SOUNDED What the War Against Judicial Reform is Really About: Caroline Glick, Mar. 24, 2023 — The left’s total war against the Netanyahu government’s judicial reform plan seems to know no bounds, and appears impenetrable to information or substantive discussion.

Jonathan Tobin JNS, Mar. 27, 2023 “Will that happen every time the right wins an election from now on? Probably.

Netael Bandel Israel Hayom, Mar. 27, 2023 “The Supreme Court ruled this week that the attorney general is not in a conflict of interest by being involved with the attorney general’s law in the reform because “the clashing interests inherently constitute the role of the attorney general, who is responsible for giving legal advice.” This is […]
Ruthie Blum JNS, Mar. 26, 2023 “He was simply too intimidated by the unprecedented situation to know how to handle it.
