This is good, but Democracy's highest ideal is not Equality. Democracies do not really have any argument regarding equality. Democracies operate more on resentment than equality, but only as a mechanism to achieve power. Equality is really an extension of that resentment. One of the better arguments against Democracy is that it is effectively morally relative, and has no consistent values; which Mr. Smoot alludes to when he says that the binding law of the land is dependent only on what the majority happens to believe at any given time.

Everything else here is basically on point.
