If things were done your way schools would still be segregated, the police would have no reason to respect our constitutional protections against search and seizure, and interracial marriage would be illegal.
Absolute democracy is simply a tyranny of the majority. There are checks on that concept for good reason. |
Agreed. Also, if it were up to people and individual states on these matters, women wouldn't be able to vote, and we'd likely still have slavery. What the state supreme court did was recognize that the government of California cannot, under rule of the states constitution, deny a couple a marriage license due only to sexual orientation.
