John P. and guest from NW...your comments are VERY clear and hit the mark as well as I could say it!

" our constitution exists in large part to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority."....indeed!

I have been for some time now trying to properly frame a set of thoughts about certain rights and rules that should taken out of the latest "majority rules" controversy. Why should a new generation of justices on the Supreme Court be able to ban this, approve that, and play games with situations that should ALWAYS be left to the individuals involved? Abortion, sexual relationships, civil rights...etc. should never be pawns of media campaigns. If YOU don't like same sex relationships, fine--- don't have one..leave everyone else alone!
