Both are lawbreakers. That is the similarity.

I guess that as far as you are concerned, it is OK to break laws whenever you do not agree with them.

Don't forget that our political enemies also don't agree with may of the laws to which they are subject. They have and will seize every opportunity to attempt to disregard their legal obligations. How do you propose to compel them to follow the law when our side is exempt from an equivalent obligation?

Frankly, I am more worried about the other side, since I believe many are less constrained than we are by notions like decency and a true understanding of the nature of a democracy. The rule of law is our protection against such individuals.

Conservatives must demand respect for the rule of law. We surely cannot count on liberals to do so.

I thought the judge who ruled against Moore created law, hence the controversy. At any rate, this should still work out well.

roy S.Moore demanded respect for the Rule of Law.Demanded
that Federal Judges be held accountable to the clear language used and intent of the men who ratified that
instrument. And he was removed for that.You are not
correct to thrust the charge that I think it is "ok" to
defy the law -when I do not agree with the law. Quite the
opposite is True. Like Roy Moore I expect all to be under the Law--unlike the Blind captives who believe in error that
the Federal court is the very essence of Law.As opposed to
what is written and ratified. WHY should they be above the LAW?
