The U.S. and Israel both face a constitutional crisis in which the legal profession is trying to control popular access to political power.
The United States and Israel have more in common than shared Judeo-Christian values and democratic government. Both face a constitutional crisis in which the legal profession is attempting to control popular access to political power.
Israel is on the verge of a confrontation between its judicial and legislative branches. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, elected with a right-wing coalition last year, has set about reforming the country’s judiciary, which amassed unprecedented power in recent decades. It is not clear what will happen if the Court tries to strike down these Basic Laws. Netanyahu has already said that the judiciary lacks the power to do so. But because Israel, like the United Kingdom, has no written constitution, it may be an open question.
But instead of simply making their case to the public, Israel’s opposition has decided to shut the country down. It has shut down roads; it has harassed legislators in their homes; it has even encouraged military reservists to desert.
