>The Supreme Court and judicial review is anti-democratic
The elected legislature make the laws. The judiciary is there to ensure the legislature don't bypass proper democratic procedure. If the judiciary decide that something is not consistent with the law then the legislators have the ability to openly debate and vote on a law that 'corrects' that. And the people get to petition their representatives over the bill.
It's part of a balanced systems that prevents the legislature from doing things it doesn't have a mandate for.
Though in USA we've seen how that system can and has been corrupted as it relies on honour and a genuine will to serve the people.
