I agree, that is how the law operates in Georgia, but not how the law should operate in Georgia. If the law did not actually operate by majority, we wouldn't have Blue Laws, but the point is not moot. For instance (correct me if I'm wrong) New York State wanted to prevent women from taking thier tops off at the beach. Well, you can't have one law for men, and one for women, so it is now perfectly legal for women to go topless on NY State beaches. But that does not mean they can in Georgia. It just means that next time someone tries to take it to court in Georgia they have a good chance of winning. Am I correct in my belief that other cases in other states have already established the unconstitutionality of blue laws? I believe it is then up to individual cases in other states to change the laws in those particular states. -- | Shane Wm.
