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.

Actually, as is shown by this case, we live in a judicial aristocracy where the will of both the majority and the minority are subjugated to the whim of an unelected arrogant intellectual Ivy League aristocracy.

Are you questioning the outcome or the process?

Well, we're SUPPOSED to be living in a representative republic. I can see that it doesn't always work that way. When judges can overrule things, it renders the system pretty useless. I can see P-Marlows point everytime the ACLU chips away at our freedoms and with every 9th circuit court decision. Nevertheless, we need to keep trying because every once in a while there are flashes of sanity; like the recent ruling by the 6th Ciruit Court of Appeals: www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1544226/posts
