The Founders were very careful to ensure that the Law was NOT decided by popularity contests and direct votes of the people. They were completely opposed to Democracy (a negative term to them) precisely because judges should not rule based upon populatity. This was why they mandated lifetime appointment for federal judges and called for judicial independence.

No one says judges should not rule objectively. But they can't do that when they are captives of liberal interest groups. These judges have no accountability and that's why lifetime tenure and judicial review have to be revisited.
