well, i picked up that phrase from a professor at yale university. and the idea is, what he phrased it was that we allow majorities to rule just because they're majorities, for no better reason. in many cases. but we also want some protection from minorities someplace, and you can't allow the majority to decide which freedoms the minority will have, nor can you allow the minority to decide, because they will always claim the freedom. which means there's a dilemma at the heart of democracy. and that dilemma is solved in our theory by a court that reconciles those two claims according to law. and that's the madisonian, that's the solution of the madisonian dilemma. madisonian being, referring to james madison, of course. who wrote the famous passages in the federalist papers. >> host: , -- yeah, the question is tricky because when you, when you have a minority, the minority, i guess, is basically protected through the constitution, through the bill of rights? how is the minority protected in our system? >> guest: well, the minority's protected in a cou
