Personal preference? Why would personal preference ever be a significant factor in these decisions. You do what is right. You do your duty. You follow the Constitution. You accommodate reality. You serve the interests of the greatest country in the history of the world. Following your personal whims is so far down the list of factors controlling decisions that it is almost never relevant.
“Following your personal whims is so far down the list of factors controlling decisions that it is almost never relevant.”
Not to a narcissist. To a narcissist, it takes precedence over all other considerations.
