You shouldn’t look at this as a right or left issue. The fact that the ruling allows the government to charge the defendant gives more power to the government. Although many conservatives believe in “law and order” the result is the painful and inexorable march towards more centralized government power.

I would hope that conservatives believe in conserving individual liberty over expanding government powers.

It’s about being able to enforce the law against criminals—that is indeed a left/right thing.

Yes.

Not a clear case of left/right.
