The Nuremburg defense.

That's not the point. I personally would have preferred that Pryor tell the feds to go stick it in their eye, just as I would love a state AG to tell the feds to stick it over any number of issues where they have usurped power. However, you say this: We are a nation of laws, Mr. Pryor, and not of men.

And the point is, the way the law is EFFECTIVELY structured now, what the federal courts say IS the law - so Pryor was following the law - and your point is off target.

but it's ludicrous to get after Pryor for not following the law.

You must also have an objection to Catholics who hid Jews during World War II. It was against the law, after all.

Is there any instance in which disobeying a federal court is the appropriate thing to do? Ever?
