Lessons from the Israeli national elections

Israel went to bed understanding that their elections had produced a dead-heat between the two major parties, but woke up in the morning to the surprising news that the official polling numbers showed a resounding victory for the Likud party and a personal triumph and vindication for the tough security stance of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu was the author of his near defeat and his great victory

Shortly after Pres Obama’s inauguration in 2009, Likud, with Netanyahu at its head, was tasked with forming the government. He was concerned to balance the pressure he was under by the right wing of Likud so he invited Ehud Barak, a former Chief of Staff of the IDF and former Prime Minister to break away from Labour by forming a new party so that the new party could be invited to join the Government.

Alabama Supreme Court Ruling on Marriage Stands Firm

Montgomery, AL - A week after the Alabama Court issued its ruling informing all Probate Judges that they must comply and cease issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, the federal judge who purported to overturn Alabama's marriage laws in January has turned down the opportunity to challenge the statewide ruling of the Alabama Supreme Court. Federal Judge Callie Granade's new order recognizes that her prior ruling only required Alabama Probate Judge Don Davis to issue marriage licenses to four same-sex couples who were plaintiffs in the federal case. The Alabama Supreme Court's statewide ruling now prohibits all Alabama probate judges, including Judge Davis, from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
