I believe there is invisible law. It is perfect; it is supreme; and greater than all laws. When men write laws with words the their is the lack of ability to capture the complete perfection of righteousness due to the limitation of words or the unforeseen which may conflict with the intent of the law. Thus, perfect law is spiritual rather than legalisms. When circumstances arrive where service to the law means choosing a destructive course over survival, the invisible law of right should be held as supreme, otherwise, as Jefferson said to paraphrase, we destroy the end in our unyielding service to the means. For the purpose of law is greater than the law itself.
You make a good argument.
