A majority, be it congress or the people, cannot vote against inherent rights of a minority. It's not beyond role of a judge to struck down such an absurd measure, it's its very role to do so.
Again, you go by the assumption that a certain minority has these rights to begin with. Nowadays, if people want something, they just claim it as their "right," whether it really is or not.
The only true rights come from God because any rights given by the government or man can be taken away by government or man.
