"Only idiots would demand their leaders break the law"
So when the Allies condemned Germans to death for failing to break Nazi laws the Allies were idiots?
Sorry, if there were a law passwed tomorrow and upheld by judges that it was legal to kill Jews I would be killing the people who passed, adjudicated, and enforced that law.
An unjust law and unjust court rulings are no law at all.
Human decency and morality MUST trump laws and judicial decisions. If we cannot count on our elected leaders to restrain the avarices of the courts (Checks & Balances works both ways) then we as a country are lost.
I am in total agreement. You are a very wise person.
