re: #191 No Malarkey!

If they want to live in an oppressive theocracy, they can move to Saudi Arabia. The US is a democracy, and the majority rules here.

The majority? I don’t think so. The Constitution enshrines minority rule in the Senate; thanks to a combination of gerrymandering and population distribution (concentration of minorities in urban areas), the minority often rules in the House. And given the EC, the minority candidate has become president twice out of the past 6 elections; there were only 60,000 votes that protected us from that happening again this time. Courtesy of ALEC and other similarly minded organizations, there is widespread voter disenfranchisement and suppression — and there will be more in the coming years, unless something is done to stop this.
