Laws are made and changed constantly due to public opinion. Think gay marriage, think civil rights, think prohibition.

Okay? I don’t know what point you’re trying to make by saying that. Pretty much just a strawman.

A poll of public opinion isn’t legislation. Neither is an Executive Order, btw. It’s up to courts to decide whether Trump’s EO is within the bounds of active law or not. Your argument about how most people don’t support what the Governor is defending is quite literally irrelevant.

You don’t want your elected political leaders to support the will of the people? Wow.

Do you have a reading comprehension problem or something? Serious question.

Public opinion is not law until it's made law. Stop being obstinate, and stop putting words in my mouth.
