The US and Houthis are both breaking international law.

The US doesn't do anything besides symbolically wave its finger. If the US actually was consistent with addressing violations of international law, Yemen wouldn't need to enact its own blockade.
This is the main issue, liberals are totally ok with international law being used to intervene, if it serves as opposition to the "enemy".
It sounds less like you care about international law and more like “why are not terrorists allowed to also bypass it?”
“Why people freak out when Houthis kill civilians if they are making a blockade to stop “genocide”?
