1. this matter, like segregation, needs to be decided in the courts
there are few instances in our country's past where the supreme court had to foster in social progression because our legislatures wanted to keep passing the buck on down. this is one of those times. you can hold a vote in some parts of this country still to this day where african americans would lose their right to vote, go to school with whites, or even marry another race (have you ever been to some parts of alabama? its stuck in the 1950s). the supreme court must make a stong ruling on this to make sure we are not experiancing a tyranny of the majority.
