The whole point of constitutional rights is they can't be abridged without due process (and a good reason), even if it is especially convenient. I bet you appreciated this when Pres. Trump tried to pull all those shenanigans around birthright citizenship, and every one reminded him he'd actually need an amendment, and couldn't just "do" it.
If you want one thing protected because it's a constitutional right, you sort of have to support all of them. You can't really pick and chiose with respect to their sanctity. I've found it to be a good position because it annoys both the left and the right on a regular basis. In reigns in both sides a little, and I think that's a good thing.
