But the solution is to overturn the existing laws using the mechanisms in place to do so, not to ignore them.

Well, if that were the case, we would still be living with prohibition. That the public refused to obey the law was the reason prohibition was repealed.

And the second is to see that the laws are enforced

C'mon, we're both old enough to know that's a crock. If it weren't for men of consience refusing to enforce bad law we would still be bowing to a king.

Government has grown too big to listen to us. Judges are making law from the bench. It has reached the point that any American can be arrested at any time because there are so many laws that you can't make it through the day without violating a law.

Government has no control over a free man. Government can only control criminals. How long before we are all criminals?

My point is that we have to hold our conservative heroes and icons to the same standards of behavior as we do liberals. If it were revealed that Al Franken had a problem with pills to the point that he was using the black market, blackmailing people, etc., we would want him punished. We had enough of liberals ignoring laws they didn't like.
