Of the People, By the People, and for the majority

Calif. Attorney Jerry Brown has said he will not support the "official" side when the gay marriage ban comes before the state Supremes, even though his job says he should. Yesterday, the anti-gay crowd filed a legal brief that blasted Brown's position. They believe the state constitution is created by the people and they get to change it however they want. That essentially means we're going to institute tyranny of the majority and you shouldn’t be allowed to stop us. I'm sure the tune will change real fast if the Supremes uphold the ban and the next vote overturns it. What do you think of tyranny of the majority now?
