How did my comment engage in 'excuse-making'?

I specifically called out that I was interested in understanding people's rationale for disagreeing with the actions taken by the federal government.

From your comment, it seems like you're mostly in the (B) camp, i.e. wrong enforcement method. Maybe also (C) due to questionable motive for enforcement. Have I understood correctly?

I would say (B) captures my position pretty precisely, yes. Perhaps I've been too radicalized, because it's very hard for me to credit the idea that (B) is even possible to disagree with.
