My opinion (not that you asked): Mary C. was in politics for about 8 seconds during the last election. She’s a private citizen. So, let her enjoy all of the rights and benefits of a private citizen, which include not have a bunch of folks mucking around in her personal life.
Right.
So you favor taking away the free speech rights of everyone else? What if they talk anyway? Shall we stone them? (Okay I'm just kidding about that last part. I thought I would throw in an example of the drama I get from the morals-are-evil crowd.)
Being a private citizen does not place you above criticism. And we are talking about author Mary Cheney who wrote a book about herself which she sells to the public.
