Whenever someone tries this argument I like reminding them how Israel was spiraling towards fascist dictatorship immediately prior to this war.

Some cynics would say still counts but everyone else short circuits in the funniest ways.

Tbf, I wouldn’t mind seeing an overhaul of the Supreme Court here in the United States. The Justices have too much power with no term limits and nothing to truly stop them.

Hell, just do the Second Constitutional Convention already.
