I think this is essentially the democracy invented by the supreme court.
The irony, of course, is that democracy cannot trickle down, any more than the imaginary economic trickle down effect actually involves money trickling down. Hence the increasing concentration of wealth when taxes are low.
Same with democracy. The rich represent their own interests. Democracy is intended as a mechanism to give voice to the interests of the people. It is meant to restrict the power of the few.
So much for that.
