A message to Bahrab-Miara?
Tonight (Wednesday) the new Minister of Justice Yariv Levin will present his plan for a "legal revolution".
Of all the reforms and issues promised by the parties in the government during the election campaign and in the coalition agreements, this is expected to be one of the most dramatic reforms.
Levin will present his intention to pass the Basic Law of Legislation and the superseding clause that will determine in which cases, and with what majority, judges can intervene or invalidate laws enacted by the Knesset.
In addition, Levin requests to change the composition of the committee for the selection of judges so that politicians have a majority in the committee and can have more influence on the selection of judges.
The desire of the vast majority of government members is to appoint judges with a conservative approach to the courts.
In addition, Levin requests to change the system that states that the president of the Supreme Court is determined according to his seniority.
Should President Hayut be worried?

It has been many years that Levin has been talking about a revolution in everything related to relations with the judicial system.
In the past he even refused to take the position of Minister of Justice because he did not feel that he had the spirit behind the revolutions.
This time, when he agreed to take the position, he did so with the understanding that there was an intention, political feasibility and agreements with the partnership for far-reaching changes.
These intentions were also backed up in the coalition agreements in which it was written that the legal legislation "will receive complete and absolute priority in every case and circumstance over any other legislation".
