Supreme Court Justice Noam Solberg said during Sunday's hearing on the Judicial Selection Committee law that the Attorney General's position appears to split actors into 'good and bad,' with judges and lawyers always good and politicians always bad, according to N12.
During the expanded High Court hearing on Sunday on the law to change the Judicial Selection Committee, Supreme Court Justice Noam Solberg criticized the Attorney General's position, saying it appears to divide actors into 'good and bad'—with judges and lawyers always good, and politicians always bad. 'This is difficult,' he added, according to N12.
Justice Solberg's remark follows a session in which the Attorney General's representative argued that the harm to democratic principles from the reform outweighs its benefit 'sevenfold.' Earlier in the hearing, Justice Daphna Vilner and Justice Uzi Vogelman's chamber also raised concerns about political incentives and damage to public trust. Justice Solberg, a conservative-leaning justice, is one of the panel members deliberating a ruling on the constitutionality of the law.
