(IsraelNN.com) Vice Prime Minister Chaim Ramon mounted a harsh attack on former Supreme Court Judge Mishael Cheshin Sunday and said that "the very fact that he was a judge is a disgrace to the Supreme Court."

"Everyone who is familiar with Judge Cheshin's personal history knows that his past is stained with behavior that is utterly disgraceful morally," Ramon told ministers in the government session, after Cheshin gave an interview to IDF Radio in which he slammed Ramon.

Cheshin was reported to have refused contact for many years with a daughter he had out of wedlock.
