Then you investigate the governor and the prosecutor... If evidence is found then you prosecute and remove them. You convene a citizens grand jury (as allowed under Kansas law). Or you vote those people out of office and elect people that WILL properly enforce the law. These are elected offices which means we have every opportunity to do so.

The means for change are there. We haven’t gotten all the change we want but we CAN with organization, effort, and persuasion.

We don’t just cut the law down when we despair or achieving change through it... That’s what communists and revolutionaries do!

Ever seen “A Man for All Seasons” about St. Thomas More? Recall when he is speaking to Roper (who said that he would be willing to cut a wide road through the law to catch the devil.)

“And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ‘round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?”

Like these "revolutionaries" said:

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
