The Israeli Supreme Court this evening (Monday) published its ruling striking down the "Reasonableness Standard Law", the amendment to "Basic Law": The judicary which limited the court's ability to apply the subjective "Reasonableness Standard' to strike down Knesset-passed laws or government decisions.

The judicial tyranny that rules Israel refuses to give up power. After the war against Hamas Israel faces another war.

Rule of Man replacing Rule of Law. Maybe they should read the Tanakh/Old Testament to see how that turned out before.

The founders of modern Israel erred in not establishing a clear and transparent full Constitution at the start. They left the door open for judicial chicanery.

Sounds much like the struggle with the judiciary in the US.

The founders of modern Israel erred in not establishing a clear and transparent full Constitution at the start. The founders of these United States of America DID establish a clear and transparent full Constitution. I'm sure you've read it. It has not prevented judicial chicanery; nor has it prevented the formation of an unconstitutional 'administrative state'.
Constitutions need an enforcement mechanism that is more practical than the Second Amendment.

Constitutions need an enforcement mechanism that is more practical than the Second Amendment. How about two thirds of the State Supreme Courts over-ruling the SCOTUS?

How’s that working out for us?

It is important to remember that SCOTUS’s power to declare acts of Congress, the States and the Executive it pretty much conferred upon itself in Marbury v Madison. It’s not in the Constitution.

It might also be that two-thirds of the States could pass the same law that would overrule the Congress. Thus the pairing of powers in State legislatures and Supreme Courts would still sustain the Separation of Powers principle.
Yes, these are my ideas. For a look at some other changes to the Constitution (particularly a comma in the Supremacy Clause and the matter of ratification of treaties), you'll find that discussed in this article.

The constitution is just a piece of paper.
Its only power comes from the number of people who believe its content and are willing to do what’s necessary to enforce it.
