Text: Supreme Court Judge Cheshin Implies Disengagement Saved PM Sharon from Indictment
Excerpts;
…”For Barak, if the Knesset passes a law by a majority of a hundred to two, he can come and assert that the law is annulled. I think that is not a serious position.”
“Fight corruption with all your strength,” Cheshin urged his colleagues in his farewell speech three months ago. “Do not forsake the war day or night. It is a matter of life and death for us and for the state. Let us oversee them from the outside.” When the Movement for Quality Government petitioned the High Court of Justice, together with others, against Attorney General Menachem Mazuz in the wake of his decision two years ago to close the Greek island case against then-prime minister Ariel Sharon, seven justices sat on the panel. Six of them decided to reject the petitions; Cheshin alone wanted to issue an interim order and have the investigation proceed.
