Let's just say for instance that there was a law in place like totally banning beer, wine and whiskey; or maybe condoning segregation. And to boot, lets just say the majority in this country oppose the laws. So if you felt with all of your being that those were a bad laws (A) should you just accept it and say nothing? Or (B) should you work tirelessly to overturn them? Just asking.

Don't be silly. "WE" the people voted in the last election and the LOSERS didn't like losing so they are throwing a hissy fit. A LAW has been passed by congress and the president and upheld by the Supreme court! The last election validated what the majority of AMERICANS want yet a small minority still thinks they are right and can't stop crying about it.

You are probably in the same crowd that says everything was Bush's fault whenever something didn't go your way. He was elected also, so I guess those people should silently accept anything that was passed during his term.
The fact is our government was set up with different branches of government with a two tier legislature precisely to allow and encourage what is happening now. No branch or chamber can run roughshod over the others. It was supposed to create an atmosphere where compromise was fostered. Unfortunately, with TV facetime more important than governing our country and politicians with a greater concern for their ego than for their country, we get this mess. But our system of government was never intended to have the defeated party cower in a hole and allow the victors to do whatever they dang well please. That is not representative government, that is mob rule.
