No, a majority Liberal Supreme Court is better than an elected conservative Court.  The very idea that the Supreme Court woudl become another popularity contest sickens me.  Look what it did to the Senate (not that I woudl support going back).  the quality of the average Senator has declined sharply over the past century.

And vice versa. There are many cases in which the court's decisions are unpopular. If they had re-election at stake, I think they would make a different decision.
