You have to choose wisely...

Typically, if it involves leavin' folks (and their stuff) alone, I'm for it.
But if it involves leavin' folks (and their stuff) alone who are trying to hurt me, I'm against it. (Possibly include folks who inadvertanly hurt me, as well...)
But its easy to use the second to counter the first. For example, I'm all for domestic spyin' by the NSA against Al Qaeda and friends. But who can't say that Hillary! won't be all for domestic spyin' against the NRA usin' the same laws with a little help from some liberal judges?

Likewise I'm against special rights for folks. But there are folks who'd argue that I'm already privledged, and they're just tryin' to catch up. Don't see it that way, myself and it seems to violate my "leavin' folks alone" criteria.

I s'pose its like art or porn - I just have to hope I know it when I see it.

What do you see in front of you right now? In terms of respecting the Constitution, right now you're camping with the enemy. If you're happy to change sides if it looks like the constitutionalists are winning, then you're simply an opportunist.
