Judicial reform is not an attack on democracy, it's the downfall of a tyranny.
The vast gap between leftist hysteria and what it’s actually fighting can be easily spotted when it omits discussing the specifics of the case. Take the leftist clamor over ‘book bans’. Then ask them specifically what books are being banned in the majority of cases and then they suddenly have to defend the graphic pornographic content in books like Gender Queer.
The Israeli left, political elites and media allies have been howling that Israel’s democracy is being destroyed because of democratic judicial reforms that would stop the Supreme Court from wielding absolute power and overturning laws simply because the leftists on the court oppose them.
The Herzog visit was in no small part about undermining the Netanyahu government by propping up a leftist opposition figure. (That was why the Dems, who had previously embraced Rep. Ilhan Omar rushed to hide away any dissent, not because they were pro-Israel, but because they were anti-Netanyahu.)
Biden has continued pressuring Israel to stop judicial reform.
President Biden in a statement to Axios called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to move forward with the planned Israeli Knesset vote on a bill that is part of the government’s judicial overhaul, saying he is highly concerned about the legislation and its potential implications.
Biden urged Netanyahu in a phone call last week to try and get a broad consensus for his judicial overhaul legislation. According to two sources briefed on the call, Biden told Netanyahu he isn’t the only one concerned about where the prime minister is taking Israel, many Americans are too.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who on Sunday returned from the U.S. where he met with Biden and discussed the judicial overhaul, is making a last-ditch effort to...

A victory for rational government.
First phase of judicial reform has already passed. It limits the Supreme Court and its representatives from vetoing laws, bureaucratic actions and political appointments because some lawyer decides unilaterally that the action isn’t ‘reasonable’.
The only pressure Biden has is the gas that escapes his colon.
The US has no business meddling in Israel’s internal legal affairs.
Then again, Biden has no business representing the US
Personal Responsibility leads to Personal Liberty.
The Israeli court structure was/is fascist.
The high judges there are functionally mostly Nazis.
Joe has no business telling a democratically elected government what it should or shouldn’t do in any matter regarding its internal affairs. We need to let Israelis sort this out without any interference from our government.
Didn’t Trump get impeached for less?
Time to stop tolerating your, (metaphorical, not only you, but all of us), dimocRAT neighbors and family, THEY are the ENABLERS of this assault on OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. Cancel the bastards, they do you. Right?
What the heck is wrong with Israel? Don’t they understand that the United States is the final arbiter of what each country must do, both externally and internally?
I kid, of course. Trump was an exception. But in general, all recent US presidents have acted like the “ugly American”. Rude, stupid, and preachy.
bkmk
And sides with Arab invaders every time. There are THOUSANDS of Arabs squatting illegally in homes throughout Jerusalem. There is no dispute about their legal status...they have none. The Interior Ministry evicted them decades ago...but the Marxist Israeli courts keep delaying it year after year.
But if a single religious Jew so much as builds a shack on "Palestinian land" in the "west bank" (99% Jordanians who moved in after Jordan's 1948 invasion and occupation), the Court will order the IDF in to drag him out by force within a week.
Leftard heads exploding en masse.
If one is a Marxist [International Socialist = Communist], National Socialism is just in the near field of one’s rear view mirror.
[Fascists, both]
I am trying to imagine the split-screen where Biden is going one-on-one with Netanyahu. Is he vacantly staring at some teleprompter or just reading off some notes? Is there someone next to him pointing, whispering, nudging? Who would that be?
Hoe spectacularly ironic this is...
Netanyahu just did what Biden wants to do to AMERICA’S Supreme Court : clip its power!!
Stymied by the Supreme Court, Biden wants voters to have the final say on his agenda :
Was there a “broad consesus” for Oobamacare? For impeaching Trump? For ending our oil independence?
Well said.
Something needs to be done with all the far left, activist “judges” in this country. They are out of control. Real anti-Americans.
Poor Joe!!!
Bidet needs to go into a well-deserved retirement.
