All examples of laws thaat were changed.
Escaped slaves were hunted down and punished within the law.
When women were not allowed to vote, did they vote illegally? Bad example.
In regard to civil rights, people who defied the law were arrested and prosecuted.
If you think a law is wrong, immoral, unfair, etc, etc, then we have the right to protest the law, petition the court, write our gov’t etc. We do not have the right to violate the law, whether or not we believe in the law or the process in which it became law.
This is similar to reports of Muslim grocery clerks refusing to handle pork at their checkouts. Do it or work elswhere.
My vehicle, with me driving, can safely travel our nation’s highways at speeds over 100 mph, conditions permitting. I cannot legally exceed the speed limit no matter what I think about environmental conditions. If I do and get caught, I can lose my privilege to drive.
This clerk is operating in defiance of the law (possibly, depending on this stay that may or may not be in effect). She can lose her privilege of working in her office.
When that law is immoral, violates our Constitutional rights, and is an affront to our God given rights we ABSOLUTELY have the right to refuse to comply with the law.
You've missed the point, and I'll restate my position on Civil Rights as an example. Laws that segregated blacks ("separate but equal") and required actions that white people didn't have to follow (surrendering their seats on a bus/sitting in the back of the bus, white only restaurants as just a few examples) were of course violated as part of the Civil Rights movement because those laws were IMMORAL.
When there is no civil recourse to address an immoral law, protests and active violation of that law by the masses is absolutely called for.
We have that exact scenario with "gay marriage." In every state that voted against legalizing and recognizing homosexual marriages, the US Supreme Court violated its solemn oath and God's law at the same time creating a new "right" for a tiny minority of people at the expense of the masses and majority's rights.
In your view, homosexual marriage is "settled" and we have the right to petition the courts to overturn the law.
That's patently ridiculous. The US Supreme Court has taken away that right by their ruling. There is NO OTHER OPTION than to refuse to comply with the law.
There are none so blind, as those who choose not to see.
