And the majority has the right in a democracy to vote for what it wants.

Which is why the founders created a Constitutional Republic, wherein the law is supreme and the whims of the majority are secondary. A lot of so-called "conservatives" on this forum fail to get that so long as they are in agreement with the fed-goves latest dictate.

Baloney, MileHi. Study your 5th grade social studies text. We ELECT representatives who pass laws for us. We can unelect them anytime we want. The law is NOT supreme. WE ARE - we can elect whom we want, and we can even change the Constitution if we want. That's US supreme, not the law.
