No. Some sides refuse to accept conditions which violate due process, equal protection under the law, and other principles which form the basis of our system of representative government in our republic (which is not, strictly speaking, a democracy, though it is a democratic form of government).
The majority can't decide to deny others the same treatment under law and be immune from challenges in the judiciary. That's one of the checks and balances in our system.
I also note you also have access to the same institutions that allow for challenges on the constitutionality of legislative actions. That you are unwilling or ineffective at using them is your own problem.

This is strictly a political discussion on democracy and who it applies to, though religious views may enter in they cannot derail this thread.
Oh please. Get over yourself. See what Shell said in the above post.
