This isn't about him doing what the limits of the law say, but rather, doing what is right. Sometimes the two don't meet up. Right should always trump.

So do you advocate vigilantism then? If I know there is a crack house down the street and the police refuse to do anything, am I right in blowing it up? Can I shoot criminals on the street, i.e., Charles Bronson?

If law means nothing, then let's do away with all laws. Let's rely entirely on "common sense" because everyone all ways agrees with what that "common sense" is, correct?

Declaration of Independence

excerpt

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive [of life] to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it . . . emphasis mine

"If law means nothing, then let's do away with all laws."

If a law is to kill an innocent person then yes lets do away with it. What is more important an unconstitutional law or the value of life. I am sure you would agree that the DreadScott decision shouldn't of been followed? Or am I wrong that you think that blacks should still be slaves? That was a law and most of America did not want to go to war but we are all glad today that we did, courageous leaders do what right not exactly what a court (of unelected judges) beleive is right.
