Agreed. It's not a case of "enforce just the parts of the
Bill of Rights with which I agree", typical of the disappointing
approach of the ACLU, for example, which _will not take a
gun rights case_ (the Southern California ACLU being the
worst of the lot).
The issue - I agree with L. Neil Smith - is what he calls
"Bill Of Rights Enforcement":

Enforce it... all of it.
