Former chief justice squabbles with justice minister

Ex-justice Barak launched an offensive in newspapers against Justice Minister Friedmann. Barak seeks to preserve Israeli Supreme Court independent - independent, that is, from accountability. Israeli Supreme Court had long became a nest of far-lefties who micromanage politics and defense and engage in tremendous judicial activism. Israeli Supreme Court heavily supports Arabs and lashes against conservative and religious Jews.
Friedmann seeks to curb the Supreme Court’s judicial activism and end the horrendous practice when the Supreme Court appoints its own justices.
