People who care about the rule of law tend to be conservatives.

That's a ridiculous generalization.  It just depends on the laws we are talking about.  Conservatives generally supported the Patriot Act, the (undeclared by Congress) war in Iraq, the torture of prisoners, and warrantless wiretaps.

No, Republicans do. Conservative and Republican are not the same thing.

Ron Paul is a conservative, and I don't think he supports any of those things.

You pick one conservative and that shows a majority of conservatives didn't support all of those things??  Somewhere on the order of 75% of conservatives supported the Iraq war.  I would venture to say that support for the other measures was in the same ballpark.

Again... not true. Republican != Conservative.
