Spence, are you comfortable with a majority allowing the government to do to a minority what the majority will not accept be done to itself? Is this a form of mob rule? Is this a disregard of the constitutional protection of equality before the law? Does this ignore the Founder's intent to create a system of government that protects individuals from the tyranny of the majority?
