- The court system is better suited to protect the individual because justices are not influenced by popular opinion, serve for life, and prioritize fairness in their decision. Elected branches of government may prioritize political interests over individual rights to maintain power.
- The Supreme Court is not considered anti-democratic because it’s not elected, but appointed. This independence from the political process is important for maintaining separation of powers and checks and balances in democracy. Federal judges are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate to ensure qualification and independence.
