Um, democracy requires that everything gets voted on and the majority rules, period, with no overturns by judges.
Um, America is not a democracy, it’s a republic.
Um, the stupid, it burns at The Red Hen.
The overturns by judges doesn't come from being a republic. It comes from having a limited government with defined powers in a written constitution. A democracy could also be limited and have votes overturned by judges. A republic can have unlimited powers that are never questioned.
