Attorney Yoram Sheftel stated on Sunday that certain Supreme Court rulings are fundamentally flawed and should not be implemented. He argued that just as there are clearly illegal army orders that must be disregarded, some court decisions also bear a "black flag" indicating they are inherently unlawful.
Sheftel criticized the Supreme Court's conduct, referencing Basic Law: The Judiciary, Section 4. He asserted that the court has abdicated its responsibility to be absolutely subject to the law, which he believes is mandated by this section. According to Sheftel, when the court fails to adhere to the supremacy of the law, its rulings lose their validity.
"The moment the court sheds the supremacy of the law, at that moment its rulings are not worth the paper they are written on," Sheftel declared. He concluded by asserting that in such cases, it is not enough to criticize the ruling; rather, implementation must be avoided entirely.
