This clearly fails to grasp the concept of operability. If we were to adopt this line of reasoning, constitutional rights go from being something that is clearly established and to be universally respected by all to a concept that is at the mercy of whichever angry mob would master the numbers big enough to topple all who oppose them. By this line of reasoning, ethics and morality are just something based on strength in numbers rather than any other principle.
