Your collective take on the situation has an underlying premise which is faulty--that premise being that "law is inherently correct" by virtue of the fact that it is a law.

Well, slavery was legal, too. Abortion is legal now. Much of what Hitler's regime did was sanctioned by German law.

So cling to your belief that law, once written, is perfectly good. You'd make great bureaucratic drones.

My,my my ... such nastiness. Before flaming, please take the time to think; it saves bandwidth and prevents you from looking like a fool.

In case you were asleep in American History, and Gov't classes, I'll give you a free refresher. A law that is questionable is CHALLENGED as to it's counstitutionality. Not ignored. Once a law is CHALLENGED and found to be wrong, it is removed from the books. There is a proceedure to this. We all agree that the law, as written is not working. You are championing the choatic proceedure of ignoring laws you don't like. That's not how things are done in a Democracy.
