Not sure about SCOTUS, but for election the solution is easy.
Just have something akin to the filibuster in the constitution, for both chambers, with no exceptions.
The 51% should never be able to change anything material for everyone, any significant change should require supermajorities, up to 90%+ for the most significant changes.
Unless basically everyone outside of skizos agree on something, you shouldn't dramatically change society toward any outcome.
