“They might as well bring back The Sanhedrin.”
I had never heard of Sanhedrin. Did some googling, and from I can gather it was a group of 71 self-appointed judges.
So you’re right - the equivalent of Sanhedrin today would be the ABA (American Bar Association) if it were allowed to appoint all the judges. And that’s basically what they have in Israel today.
But The Sanhedrin were all Rabbis.
