The tyranny of the majority is the implementation of policy that is popular and tyrannical toward some unpopular minority. It's generally used as a justification for limits on government power, separation of powers and enumeration of specific rights in a constitution that is difficult to amend. Are you arguing that a policy's popularity should have no bearing on how difficult it is to enact and implement? That seems fundamentally incompatible with the idea of democratic government. Do you disagree, or would you like to advocate another form of government? As a side note, John Adams was anything but a hardcore libertarian.
