- Semiapies 16y agoNo government's law takes an absolutist view of any right not belonging to the government. The rhetorical purpose of pointing out that American law doesn't take an absolutist view of the right in question is to imply that someone disagreeing with the speaker is some sort of "absolutist" lunatic who's out of step with the law the speaker supports, which is of course sensible.
