>The law is the law. You're not saying you would break a >law, would you? :) Anyone tell you the revolution is over? There are things that have the form of law, but are unconstitutional and are thus no law at all. And there are laws that are evil or simply stupid that should be resisted. Would you have reported an escaped slave to the slave catchers in 1859? Or a Jew to the Gestapo in 1942? In both cases the laws were enacted by governments considered quite legitimate. At the time and place would you have denounced your parents for anti-soviet attitudes?

Yes, I would break the law if honor or morality requires it. I recently drove over 100 mph on the public highways, taking my mother-in-law to the emergency room. And I would do it again.

Well put. Citizens not only have the right, but they have the obligation to disobey an unjust law. This is true for peacetime or "war"time, if you want to call this an actual "war," even though it's not.

If I'm a solider in a war, and an officer tells me to, say, jump off a bridge or burn down someone's house, that is an illegal order and I have a duty to disobey it. Same applies here. This law is immoral and unjust, and we have a duty to disboey the Government here.

They (the Government) count on that there are too many sheep out there that will just do whatever they tell them to, not unlike our friend VA, who obeys the law just because it's the law.

I applaud the librarians that refuse to do cooperate, risking jailtime and God knows what else (knowing our Government, they'll probably be called "war criminals" and executed without a trial).

I wish the FBI nothing but the worst. I wouldn't trust them any further than I could throw them, and with my bad knee, I shouldn't be throwing anything.
