Why is it that the will of the people is always attacked with lawsuits?

Cause it's the only way to maintain the stranglehold on the education system that they can think of.

Because we live in a Republic of Laws, not a mobocracy of men. I guess if the "Will of the People" is that guns should be taken away and that religious "hate speech" should be banned, we should blindly follow the will of the majority, right?

Populism is NOT conservative, nor did the founding fathers have any kind words for it either, which is why they set up a republican system of checks and balances to protect us against the swinish (and fickle) multitude.
