It is also a very high-profile case of bad example. One such act of disrespect can undermine a year of effort at Boston College Law School to teach our students the importance of obeying the law.

How many laws did YOU break on the way to work today?

How many laws have YOU broken over the last month?

The law-nuts have ensured that we have WAY too many laws. It is realization of this fact that undermines the rule of law, not something Moore did.

Sounds like a jurisdictional problem to me. Federal judges are given to legislating from the bench, and have the notion that they have the authority or right to decide what the law is - Moore merely had the gall to do the same thing back to them.
