“If Rabbi Shirley Temple claims it is kosher and certifies it as such, you can not claim “anything certified by rabbi temple is not kosher”, since the law will not recognize one standard over another.”

I dont follow , if they (the courts) say I cant say Shirley’s certification is non-kosher. Then they ARE recognizing one standard over another.

If I say, I’ts notkosher because she relies on R”T and I don’t hold that way (to ue an above example) for the court to rule in her favor would be recognising her standard over mine. Which you say they wont do. And I agree they shouldnt get involved in a “machlokes” whether we can rely on R”T’s shita.

To use an extreme example if she says pork chops are Kosher. In court she can claim that according to her interpretation of Kosher law pork is kosher (say she claims it is kosher if treated humane or something). I say thats nonsense and Pork, even if certified by Rabbi shirley is non-kosher. How would a court be able to rule whose interpretation of “kosher law” is correct?
