I'm unconvinced. Judge Moore said that it was acceptable if he had to go to jail and/or pay fines.

Isn't that a fair trade? As in some sort of: don't obey the law, but accept the penalties thereof?

He isn't on the run. He isn't advocating an elimination of laws. He seems simply willing to accept legal penalties if his views are held to be wrong.

Sure, if he's willing to pay the price, fine. That's not the message I'm hearing.

But it's worse than that. He's willing to make the statement that it's fine to defy court orders. And he's a judge.
