People have asked me why I seem so focused on moralism. There are multiple reasons, including having too much personal experience with people who operate as moralists, but what it really comes down to is that if we take moralism broadly to be a view that we should use the machinery of law to impose a moral view on the jurisdiction, most people in politics today are moralists. (So, not just a justification of a specific law, but of the whole system of law. A loss of viewpoint neutrality.)
