So I suppose you also believe that making interracial marriage legal even while public opinion was against it was the wrong thing to do....
What I believe is that interracial marriage is still just as irrelevant to this topic as it ever was, not only because race and homosexuality are not even remotely analogous, but also because interracial marriage was recognized through the legal, legitimate democratic process, and homosexual "marriage" was not.
Even democratic processes need to be checked by things like the Bill of Rights..
Find me homosexual "marriage", or any marriage, in the Bill of Rights - or anywhere in the US Constitution. Otherwise, this is also irrelevant.
There's no such thing as "the tyranny of the majority". It's a ridiculous nonsense phrase coined by people like you who want to justify being the REAL threat to the democratic process by way of replacing it with their "superior" understanding of how things should be.
I find your statement of "I wouldn't worry, because they'll get it democratically or not". THAT is exactly what I'm worried about, which you would notice if you didn't actually hate and fear the democratic process.
Power anywhere needs to be feared and checked. I have no idea where you get the idea that the majority cannot trample upon the rights of the minority.
Yeah. Like the usurped power of the judiciary to override the legally-stated will of the people and oppress them.
I didn't say "can't trample". That isn't the same as a tyranny. We've had this discussion ad nauseam on other threads.
As it happens, though, we're not talking about anyone's rights being trampled, except in your preferred vision of the future, where the voters are overridden by a REAL tyranny, consisting of a small minority and their pet judges.
