Entergy needs protection from the tyranny of the majority

Re: “Confronting 'Entergy Louisiana' - in Louisiana” [Dispatch, April 11]:

Utilizing the courts in the manner for which they were conceived is not fighting democracy. The courts were enjoined to ascertain whether the Vermont Legislature attempted to capture authority that it had no right to wield. If it did, then perhaps it is the Vermont Legislature, not Entergy, that is fighting democracy in the state of Vermont.

You see, one of our democracy's important aspects is its resistance to something called “tyranny by the majority,” which is what Vermonters seem to be attempting with regard to Vermont Yankee.

Entergy has rights, too. Even if its workers have nice furniture in their corporate headquarters.
