How about slavery? Slavery was once legal.
What about Women's suffrage? Women were legally denied the right to vote.
Civil Rights?
Point is: an immoral law must be resisted. Marin Luther King knew it. Jesus Christ knew it.
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.
