"YOU claimed the government had a responsiblity to defend my liberty."

Yes, liberty as defined by the government. They're not going to let you define it!

Hell, you'd say your right to liberty included the right to do drugs! Of course, it you can convince the federal court of this, you're on your way.

Actually YOUR right. I have never used them, but since you have, I assert your rights. Included in those rights are the right to ingest whatever substance you choose without government permission. The constitution recognises this in the ninth amendment.

Of course, it you can convince the federal court of this, you're on your way.

The federal courts do not grant rights. In your bizzaro world, you wish it were so, but it's not.

Did your favorite liberal judges grant you your rights? Did they grant you the right to "raise your children" in a world of your dreams? If so, I'd be interested in that delusion just for fun.
