No it does not allow the courts to overrule the will of the people because they only label it constitutional or unconstitutional and other branches have a little help in it. If it is unconstitutional the court wont bother with it. :)

Voters and their elected representatives check the power of judicial branch through nullification. Nullification is the power, reserved to the States and to the People, typically expressed by State legislatures and court juries, whereby the parties simply ignore the offending law or judicial decision. It is perfectly legal and proper, and has a long and sterling record as the penultimate defense of the People's liberty against repression and tyranny.
What is the procedure for getting a law passed through legislation?
It is a multiple step process to get a law passed through legislation and it takes a very long time. First the proposed law has to be drafted. Then the proposal has to be submitted to judicial authorities who will debate the feasibility of enacting the law. If they decided they would like to enact the law it is then passed to legislatures. The legislatures then have to debate the proposal. At this point if both the judicial and legislative authorities agree the proposal will become law.

Why do some bills go through judicial review and some don't?
A bill, which is legislation that has not yet become law, never undergoes judicial review. Laws may be subject to judicial review only if they are part of a case being heard by the court. If a law's constitutionality is never challenged in court, it never goes through judicial review.
