TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY

THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, IN THAT TIMELESS BEACON OF INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY - THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, HAS COWERED AT THE FEET OF THE WEALTHY MORMON CHURCH AND FASCIST EVANGELICALS, BY TAKING AWAY THE RIGHT OF SAME-SEX COUPLES TO FORM LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIPS - COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS MARRIAGE. THE COURT APPARENTLY FEARS A RETURN TO THE DRIVE FOR AN AMERICAN CHRISTIAN THEOCRACY AND PERHAPS FOR GOOD REASON. DURING THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION EVANGELICALS WERE THREATENING INCARCERATION FOR JUDGES WHO RULE CONTRARY TO THEIR BIGOTED AND SUPERNATURAL BELIEFS. IN A FULL FLEDGED THEOCRACY THESE JUDGES WOULD FACE EXECUTION.

BUT THE TIME WILL COME WHEN COMMUNITIES WANT TO, JUSTIFIABLY, BAN A VIOLENT, IMMORAL AND BLOOD SOAKED CHRISTIANITY AND I CAN HEAR THEIR LAMENTS NOW - THIS IS TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY. IF THE MAJORITY HAS THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHO HAS WHAT RIGHTS TODAY - BASED ON THEIR PERSONAL PREJUDICES - THEN IT'S THE COMING NEW MAJORITY OF NON-CHRISTIANS WHO WILL OUTLAW THESE HATE GROUPS LEAVING THEM AND THEIR IMAGINARY GOD ON THE TRASH HEAP OF HISTORY - WHERE THEY BELONG.


WHAT GOOD ARE THE CONSTITUTION, BILL OF RIGHTS AND THE GUARANTEE OF A SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE, WHEN AMERICAN COURTS FEAR HATE GROUPS AND RELIGIOUS IDEOLOGUES? THIS IS NOT WHAT OUR BRAVE FOUNDING FATHERS INTENDED. WHERE ARE THE BRAVE JUDGES?
