That is incorrect. The Majority decides what is going to be DONE and who is going to do it in a democracy, not literally what is right and wrong. It is possible for them to make a mistake (ie. the election of Richard Nixon or Jimmy Carter). In this country they should not have the right to decide what is right and wrong. Judges are arbiters of the law, not morality. These are supposed to be two seperate things in this country by way of the First Amendment of the Constitution.
