Yeah, every debate with a lib will lead them to say something like "So you don't care if people starve in the street" or "So it's OK with you that people will be hurt," blah blah blah. Forget the legal justification for the actions, forget liberty and individual freedom, once you get them on the legality or legitimacy of a point, they turn to the "You're heartless and don't care, but *I* do!" tactic, at which point, zzzzzzz...
That's how they "maintain the moral high ground."
