Never mind the definitions I asked for. That is irrelevant. And so are the arguments being put forth by GfS and Ake.

Amos's most recent post, and what he has been saying all along, is that it is a matter of the civil rights of a minority. An often oppressed minority.

And in civil rights issues, "majority rule" is also irrelevant. One of the purposes of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is to protect individual and minority rights from the tyranny of the majority.

Why does this seem to be so hard for you two to grasp!??
