Actually abolishing judicial review would depoliticize the judiciary. It no longer matters what a judge's philosophy is if they can't declare on the constitutionality of a law. Insofar as they are confined to interpreting how to enforce the law, there is no controversy over their decisions. If people are not happy with a law, then they have to elect politicians who will give them the laws they want. That is as it ought to be in a democracy.

These decisions are coming from their ideas about 'how to enforce' the Due Process clause. And we aren't a Democracy but a Constitutional Republic. Democracy is three wolves and a chicken voting on what to have for dinner. A good judge is the guardian of the Constitution.
