Shaked seeks to limit the power of the Israeli judiciary.
She argues that the role of the judiciary needs to be delineated and restricted. "
Is it still correct to say of the judiciary in Israel what Alexander Hamilton said about the court that he knew, that it “has no influence over either the sword or the purse”?
Is it really true that the judiciary in Israel has “no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the society”?
To my mind, this is very doubtful.
In fact, it is inconceivable to me that a judicial body that bears no responsibility for filling the purse permits itself to empty it, but unfortunately, this is the situation in Israel today ... The new tracks that I seek to lay—carefully, while protecting the independence and dignity of the court—are meant to define more precisely the routes of each of the branches, legislative, executive, and judicial, and thus to enable regular traffic and prevent future collisions."

She writes, referencing the arguments of Alexis de Tocqueville,  that the long-term damage of normalizing judicial intervention has to be distinguished from the justness of any particular legal decision. "[
O]nly a person with real patience who knows that the advantage of democratic government lies not in its immunity from errors, but in the fact that its errors can be corrected in the long term ... only a person like this could understand the enormous benefits of long-term governance power and what de Tocqueville meant when he spoke of the healthy influence of the government's ability to govern effectively.
Tocqueville's words must be borne in mind as we lay the new tracks regulating the relations between the Supreme Court and the other branches of government.
The healthy influence of governance emerges in ways that are not obvious, and certainly not in a brief focused glance, which misses the aggregate damages caused when the court repeatedly strikes down the products of the government and the Knesset."

Shaked concludes that the judicial system must "give enough power and leeway to elected officials while minimizing the harm to the individual and giving maximum consideration to the individual’s freedom to shape his life as he wishes".

Sometimes nicknamed the "Iron Lady" because of her intransigence in repressing crimes committed by Palestinians as well as for her nationalist positions, she supports the death penalty for individuals who have committed terrorist acts, including for Jews who killed Palestinians.
However, she considers that the death penalty should only apply in the most extreme cases.
