8. Absolutely.
The response I usually get is "But they go too far!"

To which I respond, "How, exactly, do you go too far in defending the document upon which our entire country is founded? How do you go too far to protect the basic civil liberties of the United States? Which of the amendments do you feel is unworthy of being protected?"

Then they get to put their ignorance on display. Usually, from there, they say something that reveals to me that this person is well beyond education and will need to have his/her rights abridged for them to change their mind.
