people voted to have sodomy laws in place. To have judges overrule the will of the people is tyranny.

So if people voted to make being of white race illegal, your would support it. There is such a thing about 'mob rule'/ as in majority rule, which is why we have a Electorial College, to prevent 'mob rule'.

Now that is an interesting comment.

How many legislators during that time that actually RAN on the plank that they would outlaw homosexual sex, sodomy, whatever? I'm guessing few, if any.

So they get the bill passed (who in those days would vote against), and the public shrugs their shoulders.

Nah, your argument doesn't work for me.

Nonsense. We are not a democracy - "the will of the people" only applies so long as the will of the people stays within Constitutional boundaries.

If the will of the people was to ban guns, would you be okay with that?
