Our constitutions principles are not 'slogans'.

Your hero claims:

"the moral structure of Texas society is heavily Christian",
therefore the people can say,
"these are our values, and thus we're expressing them by passing a law".

That idea directly challenges the basic rule of law in a constitutional republic which upholds individual rights to life, liberty and property.

They instead are the values of a democratic tyranny of the majority.
Insisting that such decrees are valid can void our social contract.

Thus, the issue must be resolved. Your attempt at 'moral' tyranny will lose, - you can bet on it.

They instead are the values of a democratic tyranny of the majority. Insisting that such decrees are valid can void our social contract.

It's better to have a tyranny of a 2% minority?
