More on 1070

So, you probably know that the judge blocked parts of SB1070 - last week, I think. Now we have to wait until November for the case to go to the 9th U.C. Circuit of Appeals. I was disappointed to hear about the parts of the bill that were blocked, which makes me even more annoyed that people are still so upset about the law. My dad and I were talking about things yesterday, and he believes that the majority of people are in favor of this law. In fact, I think I agree with him that the majority of people in the nation support what we should support and oppose what we should oppose, yet the people making the decisions that affect everyone are disregarding what the majority wants. I remember growing up hearing a lot about our country being a democracy: that's not really correct because the country has been set up as a democratic republic. Although we don't just all vote on every decision made in the country (and for good reason), we do vote for people to represent us, and it's so upsetting to me to feel like I am not being represented. Since when did the majority lose its voice?
