PY: You think its okay for you to say that “hey, maybe Mr. Amsalem is greater than Chacham Ovadia Yosef shlit”a, since only the RBS”O knows”, but its not okay to say “hey, maybe Mr. Amsaelm is on the same level as Stephen King, since only the RBS”O knows”?
The fact is semicha means little, it is not the unbroken semicha of yore, anyone can issue such a document or publish a sefer. It is furthermore a fact, that Mr. Amsalem would like to pretend Russian shotzim are Yidden and C”V allow these shkotzim to intermarry with Yidden. Additionally, Mr. Amsalem would like to drag Bnei Torah by their hair out of the Bais Medrash and away from the Torah HaKedosha.
