No, that is begging the question.
Democracy is government by the people. In order to achieve this it requires equal status for all citizens. If a majority voted to ban nazism would that be democratic? No, because that would not be democratic in the first place. On the contrary, a constitution or a judge would be upholding democracy by not letting the majority impose its will upon the nazis.
No, the judge is not upholding democracy, she is upholding the constitution. There is a difference.
