I thought in a democracy it was majority rules. I somehow can't quite see that as much as tyranny as opposed to a minority overruling a majority.

Thank God we don't live in a Democracy. We live in a Representative Republic which has checks and balances to balance the rights of the minority with the will of the majority.
