re: #215 calochortus

And as has been pointed out, the government/Constitution is supposed to protect us from the tyranny of the majority.

That’s so naive it’s cute.//

You would think so in theory but that isn’t the way it has worked out for all of us has it? A lot of people read this:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,[1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

add to that the fact the federal government has been able to turn “interstate commerce” into “whatever the hell we want” and the whole protecting the minority against the tyranny of the majority went out the window roughly 230 year ago.
