How is that a red herring?
Were you not just arguing that we’re a Constitutional Republic? What’s more republican than a nomination and appointment by a body of elected representatives? Furthermore what does this have to do with our amendment process - the ratification process requires not only 2/3rds of the Senate/House, but also 3/4ths of the states legislatures agreeing. Nothing exists in a vacuum, the will of the people is expressed in there.
But now you’re arguing by extension that the judicial decree with respect to abortion is the will of the people. If so, then that expresses the danger of democracy more and more rather than (as you implied) the epoch thereof being undemocratic.
As is noted in several publications (including “The Conscience of a Conservative” in particular), the move towards democracy leads to tyranny of the majority. And if, again, socialism and democracy are actually “one and the same” as Woodrow Wilson put it, then the US Constitution is antithetical to this democracy.
