People vote------> majority wins.

Is anyone just as outraged the people of Massachusetts weren't given the opportunity
to vote for, or against gay marriage ?
so...if the majority voted to get rid of the rights to a free press, would that be ok? to stifle free speech, expression?

once again, majority does NOT rule. the constitution is supposed to rule,and all laws that are passed must stand that test. so, does a law that treats some citizens as less equal than others belong in the land of the free? what happened to all being created equal? life, liberty, etc, etc.
