It shows that the "Majority Rules" standard does not apply in America.

Thank goodness for that, at least when it comes to our inalienable rights. A line from Exodus strikes me as appropriate here: "Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil."

It seems evident that a lot of FReepers still don't understand our type of government and the reasons our founders wanted nothing to do with majority (mob) rule.
