Not when people like you are content to relinquish your responsibilities to the "powers that be". The supreme court are not elected by us. Personally I'd rather have the ability to vote on every issue than to let people I neither elected, nor have any ability to have ejected decide how things should be for me. Democracy by proxy is too close to dictatorship for me.
