I agree judicial review is horrible, and paves the way for judges with personal agendas to set the standard. However, "things" need to be done at times which require the judiciary branch to get involved. I say don't abolish their power, tame it.

But remember that they were without the power of judicial review originally - they ruled it to themselves. If you don't abolish their power entirely, you must at least be sure to devise some system that prevents them from ruling judicial review or something similar back to themselves again. I'm not sure that is possible.
