Why is Roe v. Wade the rule of the land? The Supreme Court ruled it a constitutional right for a woman to choose, within certain guidelines. Some people believe that is the law because the Supreme Court was not right, but had a final say. Thank you for the civics lesson, which, of course, states the dream of America, which I very much admire. Every once in a while, hope breaks in and justice prevails, but I fear, in the end, monied interests and the industrial/military complex make a sham of the dream of America. I don't believe in majority rule; I believe in constitutional democracy, where the people have a say within certain prescribed limits. We don't agree. We make good arguments. It makes for challenging debate.

Well the people that believe it is the law because the Supreme Court is the final say are wrong, that was my only point. Are Money interests not the American dream? I always thought that the American dream was to become economically successful, isn't that why the illegals come here? (I believe that is your argument). Also, what you believe and don't believe in are one in the same. In a Constitutional Democracy (at least in the USA) the majority does rule. No matter what the majority wants, if working together, they can achieve anything. So your Constitutional Democracy is only a majority rule system. I guess you can argue that you need more than a simple majority in out Constitutional Democracy but non-the-less, the majority has rule.

I don't see how you don't support a majority rule government. Maybe I just need a better explanation of what you would consider a majority rule.
