"Yes, judges are independent, and the Founders thought that this independence would protect their ability to uphold the law, even when doing so is unpopular. On the other hand, this independence can look like unaccountability and it can create what the great legal scholar Alexander Bickel called the 'countermajoritarian difficulty.' Throughout our history, many of the Supreme Court's most contested decisions have been in casesâthink of cases involving, for example, gun regulations or abortion restrictionsâwhere the Justices struck down duly enacted laws and, critics contend, acted against the will and legitimate choice of the majority."âRichard W. Garnett
