"In the face of arms, the law is silent". (Attributed to Cicero)
Legal arguments are merely cleanup details and rationalizations after the conflict is settled by other means. Our system is too badly corroded for laws to be decisive.
The Federal government has repeatedly abandoned the rule of law. Officials ignore Supreme court rulings when they are inconvenient and insist that the 'little people' obey those rulings when they favor the Federal authority.
Nope. We are not having that system.

Agreed. And we have allowed ‘that system’ to prevail for far too long already.
