Vote for Sovereignty (the People)

For a short time, it would have been thought that these elections were going to deal with Judea and Samaria. President Trump's Centennial Plan, the maps, the enclaves, the security arrangements. State plus, minus autonomy, and sovereignty, sovereignty, sovereignty. If the right block is larger than the left, there will be sovereignty. So go out and vote.

Then the High Court came, again showing those who needed a reminder that even when talking about political blocs, the size does not determine. In a rare act of cooperation, both blue-and-white decided to seek the disqualification of Knesset hobbyist terrorist Hiba Izbak. The election decided it was a terrorist supporter who would not recognize the Knesset. But what does it matter if you have a bloc of 55, a block of 61 or 85 of its Knesset members? At the end of every decision of the public, the High Court will sit with a hookah, and its judges will do what they can. Want. And if an explicit and clear Basic Law is ignored when it comes to disqualifying terrorists, it is possible to trample on additional Basic Laws.

Basic Law: The government, which specifically states how action should be taken when a person prosecuting criminal proceedings is appointed prime minister, has become a "buyer" requiring interpretation. The ruling that allows the government to continue fulfilling its functions, on the basis of which the High Court previously allowed Ehud Barak to conduct political negotiations after losing public confidence, was ignored when it came to the decision to form an investigative committee for the scandalous conduct of the police department's investigations department.

And last week's new and fresh addition, a one-year time allowance for legislation on surrogacy law that the Constitutional Guard Board would like, with a clear threat that if the Knesset's work rate did not like the rulers, they themselves, based on their values, economic, political and religious State laws.

If it wasn't sad, it would be funny. The Israeli court, which broke international records of torture; That a civil lawsuit celebrating its 10th birthday is not a rare spectacle; That innocent people are languishing in prison for long periods of time before their supreme judges will be allowed to look and adjudicate on their appeals, and that the hearings that have long ended are held hostage for years until the desired political timing or the judge resigns and cleans up a table; The same court allowed the 120 MKs to agree on extremely complex issues, standing aside with a stopwatch. And right at the last minute, Benny Gantz attached his trailer to the court's galloping train on the way to trampling on the basic principle "I am in favor of the legal system being superior to the political system," and did not calm down until it defined the supremacy of the people's choice "danger to the state."

Indeed, these choices are about sovereignty. But it is best to start small, and apply Israeli sovereignty and the rule of Knesset law to the hill next to the Knesset, where 15 judges are convinced that the laws of the State of Israel do not apply.

Basic Law: Judgment requires the judges to declare "I pledge allegiance to the State of Israel and its laws." It is time to ask the judges to refresh this statement. It is time to mention that in democracy "the people is the sovereign". Go out and vote for sovereignty.
