Okay, how about 200+ years of laws being interpreted a certain way, only to have judges granting new "rights" to certain minority groups. There are a lot of black ministers meeting in Atlanta today to fight the gay marriage acts in Georgia. They are demanding that gays not equate their movement with Civil Rights, since gays are not being forced to drink from a separate water fountain, sit in the back of the bus, or prevented from voting. Nor have they been enslaved.
When judges ignore the rights of the majority, in favor of only the minority, then we have a serious problem.
