Does anyone have an opinion about "what if" citizens refused to obey obviously unconstitutional laws such as this?

If the law is unconstitutional, isn't it unlawful in and of itself? I don't know how to say what I'm trying to say, but if someone gets in trouble for not obeying an unconstitutional law, couldn't their defense be based on that?

Help!

Yea, but your 'defense' will eventually make it to the Supreme Court, who will affirm that the law IS Constitutional, and youll be up a creek without a paddle. If 5 Justices decide that the Constitution says we don't exist, legally, we no longer exist. Just like our property rights.

(No, it doesn't make sense.)

That's how it's done. You want to challenge the constitutionality of a law, you get arrested for violating it, hire a lawyer and head for court.

Oh yeah, take a lot of money. The ACLU only helps challange laws that *are* obviously constitutional. The unconstitutional laws you have to fight with your own money.

` speaking of "unlawful" laws--which folks are getting darned tired of, I think you are speaking of rebellion, which, IMHO will happen, which in turn will lead to the Second American Revolution. I think that possibility grows closer every day.
