I worry sometimes when I hear people say things like "What is the point, as soon as we overcome something or strike a victory, the other side starts looking for ways to undermine or overcome it"

That is true, but it's almost the universal constant in life. The fight for good is never won... it's a continual struggle, a process- not fixed condition to be achieved.



Should we so easily accept that premise? Sure, we must guard against an erosion of rights. But, it seems that in some cases, we are guarding against subversion of the very tools emplaced to aid us in that objective.


Yes, the premise is right, the "some cases" you have now, are subversion, definately, the problem is, they only gained a foothold purely because you failed to guard your rights from erosion in the first place.
