One CAN always disobey a law.

And sometimes .... liberals have thought that that was a virtue, and proof of sainthood, when MLK and the Berrigan brothers were doing it.

Remember "civil disobedience"?

Barely.
From Google: Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal to obey certain laws, demands, and commands of a government, or of an occupying international power.

Those were the days of snappy, trite pronouncements that we were supposed to interpret at The Truth. It was garbage as there was NO cause of any import as I remember.

In other times and places, as in our own War of Independence, there was most definitely a cause.
