the problem of “majority tyranny,”

If rule by the majority is tyrannical, how much moreso is rule by the minority?

Good grief.

There should be no rule by any person or group. A commonly agree upon set of rules is applied equally to all, one reason why the symbol of equal justice is a blindfolded lady justice.
