'I will respect any ruling of a court bound by the law'
MK Simcha Rothman caused uproar by insinuating he would not accept the Supreme Court's ruling to reverse the reasonability standard law.
"I think that in a country of law everyone, but
everyone, should respect the law," Rothman said. "It will be a sad day if a judicial institution acts against the law. If the court is bound by the law, I will respect every ruling of the court that is bound by the law."
MK Rothman to INN: 'Government needs AG, I'm not sure who Baharav-Miara represents'
'My way has never been to boycott anyone; disagreements can be harsh but at the same time we can hold open discourse,' MK Simcha Rothman says.
There is no doubt that there are pretty deep ideological disagreements in our discourse," Rothman told Israel National News - Arutz Sheva. "My way was never to boycott. A place which invites me - certainly the Israel Bar Association - I will go there. When there is a desire for discourse - from my perspective this is always praiseworthy - and I hope that there will be open discourse. Disagreements can be very harsh but at the same time it's possible to hold open discourse."
Rothman was also asked whether in his opinion, Attorney General Gali Baharav-MIara should be fired for her conduct, after she submitted a legal opinion in contradiction to the opinion of the Justice Minister.
"From the Knesset, I cannot fire anyone - that is not part of my position or authority," he explained. "I definitely think that the State of Israel needs an Attorney General. As of today, I don't know who she is representing, and one of the most problematic things, in my eyes, is that she writes that she is representing the position of the public."
