You're right. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way these days. As the original article suggests & the subsequent posts indicate, majority rule will be challenged in Texas, and I expect the ACLU will be involved.
Yup, and the will of the minority will rule the majority.....is that democracy?
1. Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives.
2. A political or social unit that has such a government.
3. The common people, considered as the primary source of political power.
4. Majority rule. 5. The principles of social equality and respect for the individual within a community.
