I'm sorry, but you pitchforkers are simply wrong here. If it is fine to ignore court orders because we believe we're right, then you are supporting anarchy. You either play within the rules of the game or you don't.

If you don't like the results of a court decision, you appeal it. But when we come to the point where people think they can defy the courts and win, the system either has to remove them or the system completely collapses.

You're hoping for the latter, and the ramifications would be far broader and more detrimental than you're willing to admit.

Either that, or you're spiritual kindred of the Unabomber.

I think "spiritual kindred of the Unabomber" is a stretch, your points are valid, although the decision of USSC is despicable in its absence of an explanation.

Nope, pal, I'm a born and bread law and order type. I just happen to believe that conforming to an unconstitutional ruling does damage to the constitution. I don't believe in standing by silent till they shred the document. The idea is to rise up and do something before we reach that point. Go back and read the Declaration and what the forefathers knew about the lonsuffering nature of people and their willingness to tolerate so much, then no more. At some point you stand up and fight or you surrender your freedoms. In my book if you don't vote you've no right to complain about who's in office. If you don't defend the constitution, you've no right to run off at the mouth about what end it meets. If you want to elevate process above rights, you've surrendered already. This is an attack on the Constitution. Tell me, if your right to vote is contested, do you stay home and not vote if you do have the right to vote, or do you sit on your hands and let the right be stolen from you through intimidation and process? How much abuse is enough and how much is acceptable? Do tell. The abusers want to know.
