re: #101 Bubblehead II

“This is not representative democracy, this is tyranny of the minority.”

What these idiots often forget is the U.S is a Republic, not a Democracy in and of itself. Majority rule is not always the case. Sometimes the minority does have the Constitution on their side and will prevail when a bad law is passed by the majority.

Kinda sucks (in their opinion) when the Constitution they claim to love so much trumps their silly assed laws.

What will you say if the SC reverses this ruling? Will you then grant that you have misinterpreted the constitution, and that the majority has the constitution on its side?

I expect not.

Many a bad law is passed by the majority. The recent health bill, for example. I’m far from confident that the SC will strike it down; the SC does not see its job as reversing Congress when Congress writes a bad law. Only a law that is flatly incompatible with the constitution.
