Our system only works if you respect the process. You don’t get to pick and choose the court orders you respect.

Setting aside any moral claims on why you should respect the rule of law, if you don’t, the other side won’t either, and we end up in a very bad place.

The correct answer to Dred Scott, an abhorrent decision, was not to go John Brown or Nat Turner, but to change the law, just like the correct answer to Roe is to engage in peaceful protest and political efforts, not violence.

The other side already does not respect the rule of law, and you are right, it is a bad place. The USSC opened this can of worms by asserting authority that was not theirs. They have shown the true contempt for the rule of law. As Scalia noted, some of us will notice and cease to tolerate it.

TELL THAT TO OBAMA!

If the sitting President of the United States REFUSES to uphold laws he disagrees with, why should any of us be any different?!
