Reply #48: Ah ah at last another DU'er who understands the concept of a Republic [View All]

We are not simply a nation that relies on rule by majority of voters, but rule of law.

And the most important statement in that rule of law begins with the words "All men are created equal"

That phrase has since been expanded to include women. And why gays are not included - well, no fairly minded Supreme COurt can undercut the human beingness of a gay person.


I am not particularly worried about the fact that Conservatives sit on board the Supreme Court in terms of this. They have ruled more favorably than the Democratic counterparts in terms of the rights of lower income home owners vs eminent domain. And more fairly on the medical marijuana issue as well.
