As to the separation of powers, this is how checks and balances is supposed to work, one branch of government keeping the others from going too far over the line, something that happens way too often anymore, particularly when it comes to the courts. It is high time they be brought in check by whatever means necessary. The bottom line is that when it comes down to obeying man's laws or God's laws, we are to obey God rather than man, and God's law says, "though shalt not commit murder."
