Um . . . Guest from Bewilderment, how do you come up with that?

The election of a candidate is a normal, legal, Constitutionally mandated process, and it does not violate anyone's civil rights. This is an appropriate process. Consider it "mob rule" if you want, but it is perfectly legal and ethical, and the way this country choses its leaders. It may not be smart (see 2000 and 2004 elections), but it is Constitutional.

Voting to violate the civil rights of a minority is neither ethical, nor legal, nor Constitutional.

It strikes me that you're grasping for a straw that has insufficient bouyancy to keep your argument afloat.
