Politics

There is no right or wrong in politics.

...This is so obvious to me that whenever I hear someone tell me otherwise I know he's wrong. And, in my opinion, he's not only wrong, he's dangerous.


Okay, I'll let that ride.

But a small thought experiment: If two-thirds of Americans voted to eliminate the Thirteenth Amendment, would this be an acceptable outcome since it was part of this great "process," and of course, there's no right or wrong in politics, only compromise and negotiation?

A little outlandish? Okay, how about if a state votes in a constitutional amendment to officially make marriage between a man and a woman? Acceptable outcome of an legitimate political process, or an injustice that needs to be corrected no matter how? If so, how is "injustice" defined in the non-objective realm of political ideas?
