I’m joining the thread just now, but here is my take.

There are two unrelated issues.

A. What are the legal (perhaps constitutional) issues involved.

B. What should be the public response.

I don’t think the public response is related to the legal issues. There are many things which are legal and I speak out against them. I’m not necessarily criticizing the legality, but I am criticizing people who practice it.

An example would be potching your kids. It is legal. I would not support a statute which prohibited it. I criticize parents who do it.

(BP totty: you can use the example of the KKK’s Skokie march. It was legal and most Americans think it should be legal. Yet- of course most Americans would speak out against it.)
