I hope very late in the thread, and so with total politeness, I should note that while I am with the program to put the 10 Commandments absolutely everywhere, I also believe in the rule of law. And for a judge to disobey a court order -- well, I don't think Christianity requires it. Render under Caesar that which is Caesar's. Our fate does not depend on -- it transcends and is greater than -- the secular power of the state. I can't say I approve of disobeying the court order here. But I certainly approve of the sentiment.

And Caesar's wife, Calpurnia, thanks you! :))

If the court order is not based on any law would it make sense to obey it? If it is based on law...which law is it?
