Because the government is here to serve us. Not the other way around.

The government has a responsibility to protect its constituents. Sometimes that requires collaboration. This isn’t hard.

    Is this one of those times? Seems pretty clear it's not.

    The third amendment is there for a reason. I am a third amendment absolutist and willing to put my life on the line to defend it.

    I wonder what you can't justify this way.

      That’s a good question. Assuming a righteous and just government:

      The government couldn’t justify the killing of innocent civilians.

      The government couldn’t justify the killing of the unborn.

      The government couldn’t justify eugenics.

      There are objective moral absolutes.
