So close to being great, but that “decision of the community” threw it all off. Why is it up to the community to restrict individual liberty?

Seems in line with some of the more “grounded” conservative opinions on how the Federal government and the states should run things tbh. We may disagree with them but it’s not downright stupid or anti democratic at least…

It is, but not on its own. Only when compared to the larger canon of conservative thought in which these principles are only applied to things they have preference against.

If a conservative doesn’t like it and the federal government is protecting it it’s a states rights issue. If a conservative does like it and the federal government isn’t protecting it it’s a constitutional issue.

There is no well reasoned principal backing these beliefs. It’s merely a facade of justification put on top of preferences.

Agreed. But hey at least it’s not a completely batshit insane opinion I guess! This is how low the bar is currently
