You clearly don't realize that the United States is NOT a democracy, we're a constitutional republic; that means rule of law. The rights of all are protected, the majority can't just trample on the rights of whoever they want.

If the majority in your state voted to take away your house, would you be ok with that? After all, it's democracy.
