Because we are the ones who are supposed to understand the importance of the rule of law.
Your theory sounds nice but the reality is the left picks & chooses which laws it wants to enforce and the GOP gives them a free pass. The left will happily allow us to fall on our swords for gay marriage in the name of rule of law or whatever. As long as they win, they don’t care how.
Until we brawl like Dems we will lose. We are in a post Constitutional era and must adjust tactics accordingly.
Good luck with that. I will defend the rule of law, not anarchy and win at all costs.
