JNS reports that Smotrich and Rothman’s three-part plan involves: 1) splitting up the position of Attorney General, “a non-elected governmental authority with unlimited power”; 2) putting a stop to “excessive” judicial activism and 3) removing the “ever-present threat of indictment” hanging over public officials. This includes striking “breach of trust” from the criminal code, which has been used as a means to indict public officials for “just about anything.”
