Oh come on, that's just tribalistic ridiculousness. Leftists are just as capable of appealing to objective standards of justice as rightists -- and if we decide to "call-out" and expel everyone who tries, we're only shooting ourselves in the foot.
>starts making arguments about the "rule of law" because the law tends to be on the conservative side
I think that definition of "conservative" is too broad, since it encompasses left-liberal aspects of the law. For instance, Title IX is law, and means that universities (such as where I work) have strong codes of conduct and reporting for sexual harassment.
>(since conservatives are, somewhat by definition, those who are on the side of what the law presently says).
Again, being a conservative is a different thing from using the status-quo as a reference point, and in particular, the latter is a near-universal human trait across most behaviors.
