> The law is just as much about enforcing social mores and norms

This shouldn't be the case in a society that supposedly values liberty.

There is no _society_ without _social_ mores and norms.
I'm not denying they exist, I'm saying a society that values liberty shouldn't enforce them by law.
This is an argument I find myself making depressingly frequently to people I thought knew better...
