"-- The full scope of the liberty guaranteed by the Due Process Clause `cannot be found in or limited by the precise terms of the specific guarantees elsewhere provided in the Constitution. This `liberty´ is not a series of isolated points pricked out in terms of the taking of property; the freedom of speech, press, and religion; the right to keep and bear arms; the freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures; and so on. It is a rational continuum which, broadly speaking, includes a freedom from all substantial arbitrary impositions and purposeless restraints, . . Justice Harlan

Be careful who you hold up as a sage.

"I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Nothing which it commands can be safely or properly disregarded -- nothing it condemns can be justified. No civilization is worth preserving which is not based on the doctrines or teachings of the Bible." Justice Harlan(1906)

Again, your entire belief system rests on the WOD being arbitrary with purposeless restraints. The vast majority of people, through their legislators have declared that they have a clear purpose. You can argue to convince them that they won't succeed at their purpose, but give up already on the "arbitrary" argument.
