The book explores the tension between democratic principles and individual rights, particularly in light of the Supreme Court's 2003 decision to strike down a Texas law against homosexual sodomy. It argues that protecting individual rights does not undermine democracy; rather, it is essential for its functioning. By examining this landmark case, the author contends that democracy inherently requires the safeguarding of such rights, challenging the notion that majority rule should always prevail over individual liberties.
