The majority determined the analogy does hold. Dissenting judicial opinions are always worth reading, but often the minority opinion for good reason.

Which is exactly why I called you a supporter of judicial activism. Because you are. Fundamental rights have to be fundamental and traditional to qualify as such under constitutional law. Like I said you're a liberal. Liberals support judicial activism because constitutional democracy doesn't suit them. Your smarter than the rest of us and thus your will must be done.

Buenas Noches.

The majority determined the analogy does hold.

A majority determined that Dred Scott should remain a slave. A majority determined that a child was not a child, but a target if it was still in the womb. A majority recently decided that your government can take your property in order to help some merchant build his business. Before that, a majority told us that saying the Pledge of Allegiance at school is tyrannical theocracy. This month, a majority of the SCOTUS may decide that the 2nd Amendment means you have to join the National Guard in order to exercise your 2nd Amendment rights.

So keep telling us the majority is right because they're a majority, and I'm sure we'll start to believe you any time now.
