Yes they are. But that's not what you said. This is what you said:

To be fair, I'm not an absolutist or a purist. I accept that sometimes societies must make tradeoffs in order to achieve some desired result. The question being, of course, whether there is actually some justifiable interest in infringement on the free functioning of an economy.
With regard to the Civil Rights Act, I think that a reasonable argument could be made in either direction.
This cruise ship nonsense? I don't think there's a good, non-tribal argument for it.
If you were logicially consistent, which you are not, you would say "With regard to Montana banning emplorer vaccine mandates, I think a reasonable argument could be made in either direction."
Now if you were a principled "Whenver government gets involved that's a bad thing" person then you would take the Barry Goldwater approach, be opposed to Jim Crow and be opposed to the CRA and take the position that there was no other reasonable argument. Instead....you hedged your bets on the CRA. So, what is the "reasonable argument" you think applies to the CRA?
