"There seems to be some wrong perception that judges will protect Democracy, Constitution, Bill of rights and provide effective checks and balances against tyranny and overreach of Gov bureaucracy."

It isn't a perception. Its why they exist...to an extent (perhaps not to the extent you are indicating).

"Historically all over the world, judges have always sided with Monarchy or people in power and provided cover to perpetuate rule of powerful."

This comment is a little too general to have meaning.

"US still follows ancient English law while English have continued to modernize their legal system. "

This is simply false.

Great point. That's the perception, I guess, of judges because they have this reputation for being independent, and since the other two branches involve groups of people (congress is many people and the executive branch is much more than just the President). So judges seem like they are "one independent person with a view of the law." But you're right. That's not what they often are. They're often part of the machinery of tyranny.
