At least in the country where I live (Israel) I've noticed that the democracy here is progressively going towards a destination where judicial system is above every other parts of the government and is the de-facto ruler of the country without any actual way to democratically depose them. To put it in bullet points:

• The judicial system can create new laws and remove existing laws through Judicial activism, and can do so without the need of any government majority or support from the populace.
• The current parliament wants to make a law that will disallow people with a criminal investigation against them (not actual court verdict) from being in the government. Which means the courts (who are already is very specific on which political sides they allow to be investigated and which aren't) can decide who you are allowed to vote for as long as someone will press charges.
• The top of the judicial system is made almost entirely of leftists who went to the same schools.
• Assigments to new people to the top of the judicial system needs the support of the judicial system.

I'm not so knowledgable on other countries and their judicial system but it seems the USA is also the same, with passing divisive gay marriage through court rather than legislation, reject looking into allegations in the recent elections and doesn't seem to actively punish crimes made by specific political sides like Antifa.

So my question is whether this is just something in my country, or is it a large push for a way to "bypass" democracy and have the courts as an aristocracy that decides the laws and doesn't allow any outsiders to get in.
