Tell that to the judges on Israel's High Court. They unabashedly say that they judge according to their moral compass, which davka isn't very moral.
Israel's Supreme/High Court Judges claim to be strengthening democracy in Israel. But democracy is the rule of the people, not the rule of the self-appointed, self-perpetuating elite.
Members of Knesset are voted in on lists, so that the political opinions/ideologies/priorities of Israelis are preserved. That is very much the epitome of democracy as the rule of the people. When these judges overrule the democratically voted laws, because they don't like them, that is the the exact opposite of democracy.
Something must be done to "delete" the court from the Israeli governmental system. Yes, I know. Then the court will declare the new law "immoral." Let them move to Zimbabwe or some similar country.

So, what's new! The late Judge Borke who was a conservative and good American judge that was nominated for the Supreme court in the States, but, of course, he was too
'conservative' for them, so he wasn't approved. But, he once stated that the Israeli supreme court was the most 'draconian' court of a democratic country in the whole world.
They truly usurped the power of the country. The whole knesset needs to unite for just that reason of cancelling out the secular supreme unjust court in Eretz Yisrael. Of course, we shouldn't hold our breath!
Oy, and it's just getting worse.
