Now, a constitutional protection against, e.g., taxing a rich minority so the masses can have "welfare benefits" is definitely a protection of a minority against the majority. That's hardly leftist.

Was that sarcasm? If that's not leftist, what is?

No that was not sarcasm. Proposition A is to increase taxes on a rich minority in order to increase "welfare benefits" for the masses. Constitutional provision B prohibits proposition A from becoming law. Now, constitutional provision B is a protection of a minority against the majority. Constitutional provision B is hardly leftist. And that's not sarcasm!
