yichusdik: I believe you are incorrect on both points. The Israeli Supreme Court often overrides the Democratic will of the government, as expressed by the Israeli electorate in the form of the laws passed by the democratically-elected Kenneset. No one is asking the courts to toe the wishes of Shas/UTJ. All we are asking is that they recognize and accept the laws passed by the Kenesset. They frequently do not. The most recent (of very many) example is the Tal Law. The Tal Law was passed into law by a majority of the democratically elected Kenneset. Yet the unelected Supreme Court overturned the law. All on the pretext of a non-existant constitution. They do that all the time. The non-existant constitution is whatever liberal imagination they dream up to overturn fairly passed laws.
Regarding your second point, you are even more incorrect. The most prominent and accepted Sefardic Gedolim, including HaGaon Chacham Ovadia Yosef shlita, clearly and unambiguously supported the position of the Beis Yaakov in Emmanuel and the innocent parents (a number of whom were Sefardim) who were jailed by the corrupt and religious-hating Supreme Court.
