I agree!
We live in a constitutional republic based on democratic principles and the rule of law.
MLK marched on Washington because it was well within his right under the rule of law, not because it was popular.
Our democratic principles allow for free and open voting.
The rule of law is to insure the outcome does not violate anyone’s rights under the constitution.
The challange is to elect people who understand this and govern with individual freedoms always at the forefront.
