S. Ross asked:

What does the Pasuk from Shemos about cursing a judge have to do with the Gemarah

S. Ross, Boston, MA USA

The Kollel replies:

The Pasuk about cursing the Nasi has the extra word "b"Amchah which the Gemara is Doresh to mean "b"oseh Ma"ase Amchah"- if the Nasi does not follow the Torah one is not Chayav for cursing him. The Gemarah compares this to the Halachah of Kibud Av that one need not honor a father who is not " Oseh Ma"ase Amchah" However, there are contradictory Sugyos pertaining this matter and L"halachah the Shulchan Orech writes that one is CHayav.
