Roachboy,
what I find most interesting is how these responses will play out...
If I understand the concept of hegemony correctly, then I would be accurate to state that the dominant ideology wouldn't allow the people negatively affected by this ruling to question the class structure and law, as an apparatus reaffirming the class structure, but rather to seek an explanation that is conceivable within the social context we are operating within.
so how will they [those negatively affected by this ruling] make sense of the ruling?
one plausible way seems to be blaming the activist judges. or the overreach of the federal government or judiciary.
how this is handled and rationalized is most interesting to me...
