As this ‘shredding’ continues, I am no longer able to consider myself a law-abiding citizen but rather a peaceable one......until I can’t.

Well, as a friend of mine puts it, "The law is not always sacrosanct." Or as Mr. Bumble from "Oliver Twist" puts it, "the law is an ass - an idiot." I always admired Henry Hyde's speech on the rule of law during the Clinton Hearings on impeachment, but as he warned, we are becoming a nation ruled by men with bad laws.
