Civil disobedience on the left is lionized in our history. Civil disobedience on the right is considered a capitol crime.

I am in awe of this woman standing up to the tyranny of the 2%.

Civil disobedience on the left is lionized in our history. Civil disobedience on the right is considered a capitol crime.

There is a reason that Martin Luther King, Jr.'s letter regarding civil disobedience is known as "Letter from a Birmingham Jail."

That letter included the following:

"I hope you are able to see the distinction I am trying to point out. In no sense do I advocate evading or defying the law, as would the rabid segregationist. That would lead to anarchy. One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty. I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law."

If Kim Davis is serious about making a moral statement, it will be all the more eloquent if she demonstrates a willingness to go to jail for her beliefs. She should welcome the penalty.
