That may well be right! It may be that christians SHOULD NOT work for government.
But think of what you are creating. A monlitihic system with absolute power an no defiance allowed or justified. You accecpt the Nuremberg Defence.
When the court acts in a clearly unconstitutional way it ought to be defied by someone in power. It's called interposition. It was right to defy Dred Scott and it is right to defy this.

Again, not just christians. Anyone in the court system, who relys on the power of precedent and higher court or adimistrative authority, cannot pick and choose when and where to follow such higher authority and then expect his or her authority to be binding on those who find themselve standing in front of his or her bench or panel.

And their are judges who are complete libertarians. Should they still not follow the law as it applies to drugs, prostitution, etc.?
