There are some good points within this essay. But the point calling for violating laws believed to be unconstitutional is problematic at best. We can't even get that much agreement HERE much less among people who differ even more than those here. Most of us believe almost all gun control laws are unconstitutional but cannot ignore them without great peril to life and limb.
Another contention is that the title "Esquire" given lawyers is a foreign title which Americans are forbidden to accept per the Constitution.
Some argue that the 16th amendment, the income tax, was never legally adopted but stand to lose everything should we act upon that belief. Reigning in court power is a great concern but Judicial Review was accepted even before the Constitution set up a federal judiciary.

Yep, pledging ones life, fortune, & sacred honor to fight tyranny is dangerous indeed..

So it was. Is there some point to that comment?
