According to Fiorina, if a German soldier had refused orders to kill Jews, they should be punished. After all, killing Jews was the law of the land.

Godwin's law in action... A German soldier who refused to kill Jews WOULD have been punished. Your analogy is flawed in many respects, one of which is that the German soldier could not quit his job if he disagreed with the order. He could desert or disobey orders and risk being killed himself, but he could not just quit without any harm to himself.

In this case, Davis has options available to her. She can choose civil disobedience, and I respect and support her if that is what she chooses. But with civil disobedience comes a price. That price may be jail, it may be fines, it may be losing her job. She seems to believe it is worth that cost. Many people seem to think there should be no consequences to her for making her stand.
