The court has ruled this to be lawful.

And if the court rules that you have to issue slave ownership papers, no doubt you will be out there telling us that it is our duty to obey the law.

No, the excuse "We were just following orders!" went out with the Nazis. Nowadays we must do what we believe to be moral, despite evil judges telling us to the contrary.

I am becoming increasingly of the opinion that we should stop obeying laws. Especially those laws that protect the interests of people who want to shove our faces into crap; Who want to pipe sewage water through the veins of society.

If there is no moral underpinning to the law, then there is no compelling interest in obeying laws which you can get away with breaking.

You should watch this. This is a Harvard Professor talking about an exchange he had with a Chinese student. It is 1 minute and 38 seconds. I wanted to find the text of his words, but all I can find are videos, but there is a point in what he is saying that I think people need to understand.

Even Libertarians.

If you disagree with the court you always have an option. But the employer has the option to fire you. Make your decision and live with the consequences. You don’t use your religious belief to control the business or limit the services of your employer. That is a violation of the employers rights. If it is a public agency you would be forcing to agency to do something the courts have ruled is illegal.

Don’t obey the laws you don’t like. Be ready to serve time and don’t expect the world to change around you. If we all go to jail then you have something. But you can see from the small number who refuse to issue iciness, it’s not going to happen in this case on this issue.

I am no longer a libertarian. I would think Libertarians would support the right of the employer and in this case the responsibility to carry out case law.

Will not be watching the clip. Don’t need a primer on religious freedom.
