AAQ – Been there done that. If this was left to the elected government that would be possible like it was until now. What is happening now is that the SC/AG/junta dictatorship is using this issue to make their last stand, after they failed to topple the government on every other issue they tried. From their perspective this really isn’t even about the Chareidim per se, so much as it is about maintaining their dictatorship. An elected government needs votes, and they are willing to compromise to get those votes.
