You may be in the majority now...

Another long discussion of tyranny of the majority, though this one makes a point I hadn't seen much before -- and which the GOP in Congress is experiencing now. The GOP has been saying for quite a while, including when talking about the outcome of the Calif. marriage ban, that the people voted for it, therefore judges shouldn't interfere. The response:

For the majority, ensuring the minority's rights becomes a matter of self-interest, since it must utilize the same rights when it is in minority to seek to become a majority. ...the minority's rights must be protected no matter how singular or alienated that minority is from the majority, or the majority's rights lose their meaning.

You may be in the majority now. Eventually, you will be in the minority at least about one of your rights. That is especially true about Mormons, who are a minority. What side will they be on if polygamy comes up for a vote?

Your rights are our rights.
