How far are you willing to trust the majority? For example, if one of the states in the bible belt decided to ban Mormonism, would you support it? I am a big proponent of state's rights, but I think the the framers of the Constitution were careful to protect us from the majority. I am strongly against mob rule. Don't be too quick to cut one of the branches of the government out. The courts are needed to keep the balance.

Yes, when the vote was in a red state, and the judge is Ivy league trained.

Yes, the "I know what's best" exception.

This is one of the times that I am grateful I went to Marist. Nothing is expected of me and I am able to fulfill that.
