Are you asking why they can't solve the challenges imposed upon them by the US government? Isn't that like asking a gay person why they didn't just legalize ga

  That is a terrible example to lean on. Gay people did exactly that. They organized, persisted and got gay marriage legalized, with relatively very little help (out of the total population) and an immense amount of resistance. The extreme majority were against them for decades. You can in fact get something legalized in precisely that manner as a tiny minority. You don't require a 50.1% vote to convince the Supreme Court to rule in your favor. The US is not a majority rule democracy. One person, one case, can change the country dramatically through the Supreme Court. Historically individual rights take precedence over whim-based mob rule in the US. If that were not true, gay marriage would probably still be illegal, as there remained a large amount of mob resistance to it when it was legalized.
