Once we allow local cliques to suspend parts of the Constitution that don't suit them on a whim, we are headed down a long, slippery slope where the basic rights in that Constitution will become indefensible. I don't disagree with this at all. But... All in the name of serving a local clique that needed to feel "free" from laws and standards. ...we are descended from people who did not tolerate tyranny and who rebelled against it. These people feel oppressed by their gov't and are peacefully protesting the best way they know how. You know how I feel about a little revolution every now and again. (You also seem to have had a bad experience with a local clique, for which I sympathize. But unless you want to call an entire town a clique, this isn't that.)
