Supreme Court ruling on the issue of drafting Haredim
Question
The Supreme Court previously struck down the Tal Law on the grounds that it was not equal. So the question is: even though almost every sane person supports drafting Haredim (in one form or another), is it proper for the Supreme Court to intervene in this issue?
Answer
I didn’t understand the question.
Discussion on Answer
I haven’t read the ruling. Read it and judge for yourself. The question of equality is definitely a constitutional question.
I wasn’t asking. I was answering the questioner.
Of course the question of equality is constitutional.
If the Supreme Court’s reasoning is constitutional and not political, why not?
(I’m not talking about the Supreme Court’s motivations, but whether technically, at the end of the day, there is a legal argument. Political biases exist from the outset anyway. That’s why I support changing the method of selecting judges. But that’s a different discussion.)
