I must have dreamed about the millions of liberals who were damned mad about the conservatives passing questionable (some I would call unconstitutional) laws with just a 51% majority. There was a popular phrase back then as well, something along the lines of 'rights of the minority.
Interesting that none of that applies now, when it concerns your own special project or concern.

really? is there anywhere in the constitution that clearly states that the people shall not resort to violence when their rights are being violated and written away while the courts rubber stamp it? Because i'm sure I can find a few inferences where the framers of the constitution and the writer of the declaration stated just that very thing.
