Sorry sparky, not at all. It isn't mob rule if the majority that elected the leaders are the same majority who don't want the porn within eyeshot of their kids.

Actually it is. If a majority(or sometimes not even that, but a plurality) elects some dolt who decides along with the other handful of morons/tyrants to enact some law, then it isn't any more moral or constitutional.

As for people talking about exactly what was on the books in the late 1700s, and quoting decisions, it's not relevant to the true issue. Do we REALLY want to go back to that time? Let's see, I'd be the son of a slave, therefore a slave, or at best an oppressed minority. Hey, instead of being infinitely more moral and intelligent than you, I could be a stableboy.

This is the same country that had the Dred Scott decision, right? lol

Thanks, but the Founders and the Constitution are just helpful guides, but I wouldn't suggest we follow them as absolute moral/political exemplars.
