    @ CronenBurgerMeister

    (commence internal monologue) So, it comes out that a president-elect wants to make a decision deeply offensive to the people that elected him, those people speak out against it, and the will of the people (one way or the other) is responded to? What is this strange sequence of events?

    I'm not sure, but it seems like it must be unconstitutional. Or at least immoral.
