You have a problem with legislating morality?
Perhaps we should legislate immorality?
The 'majority rule' thing is incomprehensible.
Alan is a republican, in the truest sense of the word.
Yes. I don't find that power enumerated in our state or US Constitutions.
Perhaps we should legislate immorality?
I favor legislating only Constitutional law, and as little of that as we can.
The 'majority rule' thing is incomprehensible.
Indeed it is. That's why I hate to see Keyes thump on his "right of the people!" bit.. He claims there is:
"the right of the people to decide in the law what is right, the right of their representatives to decide in the law what is right!"
-- Which to my mind is a thinly disguised call for majority rule, -- regardless of our constitutional safeguards.

I see a bit to much of the rabblerousing fundamentalist in him for that. Like many overzealous men he thinks his vision of what is 'morally right' should be law.
