thats not how it should be. it isnt always the majority rule here as in 50/50. thats why it takes 2/3 approval for some votes to pass. the constitution also exists to protect the small from being oppressed by the many. this also isnt some kind of social statement like smoking pot and voting on american idol, these are civil liberties. doesnt matter if 99.9% of people want gay marriages to be banned. the fact is a significant minority of our citizens are being denied a right all citizens are entitled to. |
yeah, technically the fate of the whole country when it comes to issues can ride on 4 people's shoulders....supreme justices.
