This nation was established as a republic precisely in opposition to direct democracy (which apparently you are advocating) because of the justified fear of mob rule inherent in such a system. That is why we have elected representatives and a supreme court, so that the immediate whims of the populace, as in American Idol, do NOT dispense laws or justice directly and according to the immediate and usually irrational emotions of the public at large.
Not like the current state of California method of legislature by popular vote and constitutional amendment.
