Even Then I Was on the Mark

A good friend reminded me recently of some correspondence we had, as follows (edited):

Dear Yisrael,

I haven’t written to you for a while, and I hope all is well with you.

I have an academic question to you.  I don’t know whether I have told you that I am writing an academic book on _______ (in Hebrew, also to be translated into English). At the moment I am writing about the phenomenon of legislation designed to change the status quo in Israel, in terms of the definition of the state, the power and make-up of the Supreme Court, “problematic” human rights organizations etc. Some of this legislation is initiated by Private Members, others by the Government (especially the current Government).  I was wondering whether you know of any serious, academic article or book that defends this legislation.  Most of what is written on the subject comes from the Left, which defines the legislation as anti-democratic. Yariv Levin has on occasion spoken of the need for the Right “to finally start ruling”. I shall be talking to him about this in a few weeks’ time, but in the meantime I am seeking some serious academic literature on the subject.  Can you help?
