You can expand that phrase to mean just about anything you want it to say.
Legalization of drugs? -- pursuit of happiness/liberty
Want to bang a child prostitute? -- pursuit of happiness/liberty
I could go on, but you get the idea. As Rudey said, it's your interpretation, and since your interpretation has not been found to have any legal import whatsoever by anyone who makes those sort of decisions, I'm not sure where you're coming from except to tell us what your opinion is.
So, thanks for your opinion. If you have anything that is actually relevant to share though, please feel free.
