One thing that the people against the judicial reform in Israel did not learn was the Federalist Papers about why you can not have a judiciary branch of government that is independent of the will of the people. an independent judiciary branch of government that can nullify [and has often ] nullified the will of the people as expressed by their elected representative is tyranny. In fact, for a very long time I have wondered about political debates in the USA itself that seem unconnected with the Constitution. And this I think is the reason why ''civics'' was are requirement in all schools--even for people that were not planning on going into government service at all. That was so that everyone should have an idea of what it takes to create a just society. Nowadays that knowledge is lost as political debate is reduced to slurs and lashon hara/slander.
Tyranny is what happens when one class [like judges] gets to appoint themselves into positions of power with no accountability to the people. [Religious authorities have the same problem, as we see in the LE.M volume 1 chapters 12 and 28 of Rav Nahman concerning the problem with Torah scholars that are demons. ]
