“Currently, just four of the nine members of the judicial selection committee are from the government and Knesset, with the remaining five members being judges and members of the Israel Bar Association.”
The judiciary and the bar are acting like a guild that cannot be questioned by anyone outside the guild. Like in the U.S., the bar is predominately leftist or at least leftist supportive, and thus the “protests” they have organized against judicial reform. How dare the elected government question their guild!!!!!
They disqualify from membership anyone deemed “right-wing,” I think. Not sure, if that’s so. But if it is, that is directly contrary to American legal practice, which has no ideological litmus test. Just all the white shoe firms tend to be more woke.
