Questions for liberals

Here is a list of questions I've long had for contemporary left-liberals. Please feel free to comment with responses:

(1) Why do you distinguish between economic liberties and so called "civil liberties?" Why respect the right to religious worship on one's own property but reject a "regulatory takings" doctrine that would protect, inter alia, the right to build homes on one's own unadulterated land?

(2) Given your sympathy for the economically disadvantaged, why do you support government policies that hurt such people (i.e. eminent domain redistributing land from poor minority groups to rich developers, payroll tax redistribution from relatively poorer young workers to relatively affluent retirees, etc.)?

(3) Given your support for abortion rights on autonomy grounds, why do you support the modern regulatory state's scores of paternalistic restrictions that infringe on people's autonomy (i.e. FDA restrictions on the pharmaceutical drugs one can buy, bans on organ sales, etc.)?

(4) Why do you think that income taxes do not discourage labor while simultaneously thinking that cigarette and carbon taxes discourage smoking and greenhouse gas emissions, respectively?

(5) How do you reconcile your anti-Citizens United position that the Bill of Rights is inapplicable to corporations with your view that restrictions on pornographic speech are unconstitutional? Should Playboy's business organization form determine its First Amendment rights? Are you willing to say that Playboy LLP should get First Amendment protection but Playboy Inc. should not?

(6) Why do you preach judicial restraint when it comes to litigation concerning economic liberty and Congress's Article I powers while supporting strong judicial review in the realm of civil liberties? If protectionist occupational licensing schemes should be challenged through the political process rather than courts, why should reproductive rights be protected by federal courts rather than local political processes?

(7) Why are you less troubled by income obtained through talent than income obtained through inheritance? Don't the poor prodigy and wealthy heiress both have arbitrary, lucky, and seemingly undeserved advantages over their less intelligent and less wealthy peers, respectively?

(8) Why are you far more supportive of Pell Grants as opposed to school vouchers? How are these two programs materially different?

I might return to these questions in the future as then-current news makes them relevant.
