Yair Lapid meets with bad Democrat to oppose Israeli judicial reform
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid, who has led protests against judicial reform in his country, flew to the U.S. Monday to meet with Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), who has proposed the most radical reforms in U.S. history.This is very reprehensible, shows Lapid's continuing to undermine efforts to repair the damaged judicial system in Israel, and simultaneously, that he, along with Nadler, condones destroying the USA's own. More people need to point out this hypocritical and seriously harmful approach both are taking, along with other leftists.
As Breitbart News and others reported almost exactly two years ago, Nadler, who was then the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, unveiled a legislative proposal to “pack” the U.S. Supreme Court — and give it a left-wing majority — by adding four new justices, whose seats would be filled by President Joe Biden.
Nadler did that despite the fact that President Biden had appointed a commission to study the idea first. (The commission later warned that court-packing had “uncertain” benefits.)
Not only did Nadler propose expanding the Court from nine seats — which it has had for over 150 years — to 13 seats, but he also demanded the Senate abolish the filibuster, a key minority protection, to do it. [...]
Earlier this year, without a hint of irony, Nadler led Jewish Democrats in Congress in opposing judicial reform in Israel, warning that it “could undermine Israeli democracy and … civil rights and religious freedoms.”
Lapid has used similar terminology, claiming that judicial reforms — which largely parallel existing U.S. law — would destroy Israel’s democracy, even though they would make the courts more accountable to the legislature.
