The court decides what the law says. You are free to express your opinion, but it does not have the weight of law in this country.

The court decides which direction the guns will be pointed, but they don't actually decide truth.

You dodged my question. Do you believe abortion on demand is valid law? Do you believe homosexual marriage is valid law?

I’ll be your huckleberry. Yes they are valid law under our system of government. That is the way our system was set up by the founders in the constitution. Do I believe they are moral laws? Or good? No.

And under our system if you don’t like the law their are methods of redress. You either get another case in front of the Supreme Court or you pass a constitutional amendment to change the constitution.

What you don’t do is start grabbing all federal property you can and start shooting at US forts.

Now, like the founding fathers I do believe in a natural right of revolution. And I can hypothesize situations where I would join people in that natural right. Say if the government passed a law mandating that women can only have one child and forcing women to have abortions. Or if Muslims became the majority and passed a constitutional amendment saying that sharia law was now the official law in the US.

If I did that I wouldn’t try and hide saying I had some sort of legal right to take up arms against the US. I fully know if I did such a thing and was captured by the US government that I could be hanged or shot as a traitor. Just as the founding fathers knew they could be hanged as traitors by England if they lost.

What I would not do is take up arms against my country because a party I disagreed with won a presidential election. An appeal to arms is a last resort when all other means have failed or cannot be employed.

It does not matter if you or I think a particular law is valid.
It is the law that is enforced. Violate that law at your own peril.
