Fugitive slave act/dredscott, segregation,etc. all were the law at one time. Don’t be foolish.

They were. All were unjust. And all were repealed or struck down by court decisions or overturned by Constitutional amendment. That's what needs to be done with this law.

Whether we agree with the laws most certainly does matter. What we do about those laws we find disgusting matters more!

You can ignore them and suffer the consequences. Or have them repealed. Or have the courts strike them down.

On those points we can agree. The overall point being unjust laws are often used as precedent and cases ought always to be tried in their own merits. Case law is the name if justice
