Obscanity: You'll know it when you see it

Same-sex marriage rights a step closer in District of Columbia – CNN.com.

"Same-sex 'marriage' is a movement driven by wealthy homosexual activists and a liberal elite determined to destroy not only the institution of marriage, but democracy as well. Time and again, we see when citizens have the opportunity to vote at the ballot box, they consistently opt to support traditional marriage," Perkins said.

That is of course a load of shit – but you want to know what DOES undermine democracy? Maintaining a district of 591,833 people who have no right to govern themselves without subjecting their votes to the review of the whole of Congress. Sorry, but when the founders forbade D.C. from having a vote or becoming a state, they certainly weren’t anticipating that it would become a major metropolitan area the way it has.

On the other hand, allowing state Supreme Courts to exercise their judicial oversight as to the other branches of government is fully and wholly in line with the three-branch, “checks and balances” government our intelligent founders set up to prevent tyranny by the majority.
