I won’t be much help because I would support legislating morality anytime a super majority agrees and a simple majority could reverse the law. I believe any issue of morality that has the support of almost everyone would be a legitimate law. Laws against murder rape robbery come to mind.

To: Libertarianize the GOP
In a place that has 51% white supremists, 39% whites, and 10% blacks, there would be a majority vote for Jim Crow laws, which the white supremists would argue are moral and just. What then?
