I disagree.

Civil Disobedience isn't a first resort, but it's not necessarily the last either, and it can be very effective.

I don't think I'd use it here, because I'm pretty sure the courts will strike the law down (assuming they have the votes to override a veto by Romney, which I'm sure he will do if he wants a chance in hell at 2008), but I don't necessarily think I'd be discouraging people from civil disobediance either.

No law is perfect, and no law can survive the most extreme circumstances. This is bordering on an extreme case.

"This is bordering on an extreme case."

So could the Left say when the unconstitutional Roe v Wade is struck down. One man's "extreme case" is another man's "extremist stand."

Pick and choose laws to follow and everyone else will feel they can do the same.

We have seen it on the Left (and on the Right as in the abortion doctor killings).

We are a Nation of Laws or we are nothing.
