I'm not asking what the courts do, I'm asking what they should do?

Asking what they should do is literally what they do. Law is not a commonsense topic where asking whaty they should do has any meaningful implications if you do not understanding the underlying theory and precendence which requires deep domain knowledge.
the concept of democracy is that everyone is entitled to opinions on what should or should not happen.

its a basic distinction between descriptive and prescriptive statements or questions.

While this is true, increasingly we no longer live in a democracy, but rather a bureaucratic technocracy.
