Based on that mantra, generations of justices killed more than 20 Knesset laws, some of them three times, because, the justices argued, they did not comply with the Basic Laws, and, as you already know, the Basic Laws are the constitution.

The justices voted along ideological lines, with the conservative majority ruling in favor of the plaintiff and the liberal justices dissenting.

The number of religious justices on the Supreme Court has grown, and there are currently three justices of a religious Zionist background, although religious Zionists compose only around 10 percent of the Israeli population.

More importantly, everyone who wouldn’t like Supreme Court justices quoting Scripture to justify taking away the American people’s rights should be pushing to make sure these radical right-wing justices are outnumbered.
