yankel > The Israeli SC on the other hand, sees itself as its own source of power.
As all SCs do everywhere. US system is a little better defined than Israeli, but issues are the same. For example, US SC early on created a “judicial review” that is not in the constitution and it is now an established minhag. Lots courts and individual judges tried and often succeeded in going over their boundaries. Bottom line is – if you build a a strong political opposition (stronger than 51%,) than you’ll win the argument eventually,
> your suggestion re building ‘big coalitions’ is as naive as your other suggestions and not based on hard reality at all
I fully understand that this is not Israeli thinking, but this does not change the fact that this is the way to solving political crisis. The alternative is what you demonstrate here – stand your narrow position and shout that it is not fair.
