Her phrase “tyranny of the minority” is historically ridiculous. She is surely aware that every argument she uses was used by segregationists to deny African Americans hundreds of privileges. In fact “states rights” was the rallying cry for egregious officials attempting to discriminate and maintain a status quo they also called “tradition.”

Again, the 14th Amendment clearly says, “nor shall any state … deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Certainly in their religious beliefs people can define marriage any way they want. It is now justice that they cannot impose that definition on everybody which was a genuine “tyranny of the majority.”
