He is not blind - but rather he is indifferent. He is a moral relativist ... That is what lies at the core of libertarian thinking. They are, in reality, liberals, but without the intellectual honesty to admit such fact.
Libertarians admit no supremacy of the Natural Law, even though all just positive law derives from the moral truths revealed in the Natural Law.
“Morphing libertarian” (interesting phraseology) is no different than those five tyrannical black-robbed oligarchs of the SCOTUS ... Nor does he differ much from the other four, whose pathetically weak dissents did not even consider the Natural Law, as once espoused by Justice Blackstone (albeit, Justice Thomas did use a reference to the arguments of Locke and Rutherford).
Libertarians are fond to throw out the “I’ll follow after you” meme, whenever challenged by those who are ready to engage ... and I will wager they will have a convenient reason to excuse themselves when the moment of truth finally does arrive (”I’m sick and old”) - It always comes down to the “Three Percent” ... Because it requires the FORCE OF MORAL CONVICTION to motivate a force of arms.
Those w/o moral convictions (You must follow “the law”) will always have an excuse not to wage battle against evil. So, they become the silent partners of evil ... Complacency in the face of evil is no virtue, as much as unjust immoral law is no law!
