Former state attorney Moshe Lador has assailed the conduct of judges in the trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after they advised the prosecution and the defense behind closed doors that with most of the prosecution’s witnesses heard, they believe the bribery charge against the prime minister in one of the cases against him will be hard to substantiate.

The judges’ comments earlier this month immediately leaked, and this week they confirmed making them. Prosecutors have remained steadfast in their belief that they have a strong case on the bribery charge against the premier. (The accusation is the most serious

Colorado has a law on the books that says, in simple terms, a business open to the public can’t discriminate against gay people.

The radical right-wing majority of the US Supreme Court issued a ruling last week saying that, yes, it can.
