Blue Jeans vs. Black Robes

From this article:

"In Montana, we think [marriage] should be decided by folks who wear blue jeans, not folks who wear black robes," said Montana state Rep. Jeff Laszloffy, author of the amendment.

How well did the people in blue jeans handle the issue of segregation, Mr. Laszloffy?

Democracy, I remind Mr. Laszloffy, is three wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Certain things are placed outside majority rule -- life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, property, equal protection under the law. These things are called rights, and they are supposedly inalienable.
