Libertarians have a simple solution for just about every social, economic and political problem: legalize it.
But their utilitarian approach to problem-solving is neither rule nor act utilitarianism: If a problem comes around, they whip it by saying, “Let’s pretend it really isn’t a problem. If we make it legal, then it goes away.”
Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Pretty cool, huh? Sure, if you’re into OA-style anarchy.

Even when those solutions are part of the Constitution? Is it still "utilitarian" then?

How hard is it to just FOLLOW THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND?

You can have a bug up your ass about the LP, I have a few bones to pick with them myself...

Just stop it with the rest of the BS though. It doesn't fly and only makes you look ignorant.
