    Mike Sulzer,

    "Um, the majority deprive a minority of the right to vote? Nope, could not happen in a million years. Nice set up TOM."

    Yep...I figured someone would miss my point. First of all, the protections in the Constitution are SPECIFICALLY spelled out, so no activism would be required. Next, such a vote could never come to pass as it would be challenged BEFORE it got on the ballot.

    My point was, it is not a logical argument because NO activism would be required here. Geez, some people.
