Israel’s High Court September Hearing for Judicial Reform Law Will Include All 15 Justices
(Worthy News) – The president of Israel’s Supreme Court confirmed Monday that all 15 justices will assemble on September 12th to hear a challenge to the recently-passed judicial reform law eliminating the “reasonableness” clause. It’s the first time the entire court will hear a case.
The Knesset passed the law last week, 64-0, after the opposition boycotted the vote.
The court’s decision to put all the justices on the case delighted the NGO leaders who filed the suit. The Movement for Quality Government issued a statement reading, in part, “This is a historic petition designed to repeal the central law in a series of coup d’etat laws,” and added, “The (Supreme Court) president did well to include all the judges of the High Court in this important discussion.”
Coalition member Boaz Bismuth from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party strongly disagreed, tweeting, “15 people wearing judges’ robes, replacing 120 representatives of the people…this is the end of democracy.” [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
