We are a nation of laws, Mr. Pryor, and not of men.

And, in this case, Pryor was following the law as dictated by federal court. I personally disagreed with the ruling, but it's ludicrous to get after Pryor for not following the law.

At least you admit that these judges have become dictators.

Lawless dictators at that...

You must have an objection, then, to the Boston Tea Party.

Pryor's oath is to uphold the Constitution, not a perverse and utterly unsupported interpretation of the Constitution. It's his duty to obey that Law. Not the "law" decreed by a federal judge acting beyond the scope of his authority.

I'm glad that the federal court didn't order Pryor to take off his clothes and quack like a duck, because I guess we're all required to obey a federal court ruling no matter how ridiculous or how legally unfounded that ruling may be.
