We have the freedom to legislate about such things.

The basis of freedom is not the freedom to legilate. Freedom is not the government legislating what legitimate things people are allowed to do. Rather, in liberty the government is empowered by the people to do a limited number of legitimate things. All else the people are free do to. We do not need to justfy our choices.

If we don't see the need to justify our choices, then by all means we the People need to elect representatives who will legislate in measured ways to keep us from being unruly as well as unaccountable.

And if those representatives, or the bureaucrats they empower to make choices for them, don't need to justify their choices, why do we have, or need a Constitution?

We need laws to keep us from violating the rights of others---nothing more.
