If that's what the majority wants, then what's wrong with it?

The fact that "the majority" has no influence on what's right; and that
our constitutional principles are founded on limiting the tyranny of the
majority. That is a big reason why the United States is a republic, not
a democracy.

Nope. It's the truth. Ask anybody who got an A in high school history
and/or civics.



... Our republic is set up exactly so that the will of the
majority of the people can prevent the tyranny of ONE (or a few)
dictator (a minority).


That's also true. So why is it that you support the idea that a minority
of one can imprison or kill any citizen (or take away any lesser
Constitutional rights) on a whim?


I'm not the one who's ignorant.


Uh huh... and Nixon kept repeating "I am not a crook!"
