No one really believes that.  
Anyhow I'm just pointing out the obvious fact that the Supreme Court Justices are not installed by democratic vote and are not accountable to any democratic vote after being installed, and apparently that means I need another "Republic not a Democracy" lecture.  It's tiresome and presumptuous.
Yes the system is set up so officials can occasionally do things that the people don't like,  
Yes that is a good thing,
But yes that also means that whenever they do, we can expect lots of people to protest.
And we should respect the rights of people to protest.
Saying "we're going to do this thing most people don't like" then saying "also we won't let you protest it" - that's not just unAmerican.  That's the political equivalent of pissing on someone and telling them it's raining.
