The argument in the parent is well-worn, but it fails serious consideration if it ignores the facts that the U.S. courts interpret laws made by the elected officials, that the judges are appointed by elected officials, that their unelected status is established by elected officials and a national referendum (i.e., the votes that established the Constitution), and the reasons for their unelected status.
