This is not a time to be pedantic.

  When people want to speak broadly about taking rights away, it's a perfect time to be pedantic.

    There is plenty of precedent for enforced rationing. e.g. during WWII.

      WWII also gave us precedent for imprisoning citizens based solely on their race. Precedent does not turn a civil-rights-destroying idea into a legitimate one.

      Didn't ration stamps have specific amounts written on them?
