Subject: it is their morality, bearing down upon me (and mine).
Вызывает сомнения перевод выделенных фраз в данном контексте:

It figures not only in Dworkin’s work, but in others’ as well as in innumer­ able court decisions as the nemesis o f (in one famous expression) ‘discrete and insular minorities’. But even solitary dissenters possess the trump card. In these civil liberties cases courts typically translate a proposition about the common good (which is held hypothetically by a majority) into a fact about some people: it is their morality, bearing down upon me (and mine).   Sometimes the ‘neutrality’ script-writer doubles down on the possessive, by transposing the popular conviction into a feeling.  Majorities are said to be ‘offended’ by homosexual relations or pornography, and ‘repulsed’ or ‘insulted’ by it. So a proposition about how to promote the common good is rendered first as a fact about people’s beliefs and then into a report o f their emotions.
