We do, indeed, have a responsibility to disobey unjust laws. However, if you advise someone else to do it, you'll end up in the slammer.

I'm not yet aware of any of the Supreme Court justices *ending up in the slammer....*

All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.

--Marbury vs. Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176, (1803)
