Hence, simply because it is on the books does not mean that it should be obeyed.

It's a tough call. In a nation such as ours where unjust laws can be opposed and overturned through ordinary political action, disobedience requires more than simply a personal determination that a law is unjust. It must be egregiously unjust, so harmful that the damage to the rule of law caused by disobedience is less. Further I would argue that the disobedience be effective.
