But you may not decide who may or may not have his civil rights, and you may not deny citizens equal protection of the law absent a rational basis, objective, documented evidence in support, seeking a proper legislative end."You can't just accept the laws you like."...Then what about the fact that federal courts have precedence? If it went your way, we'd still have Jim Crow and Gore would have been president in '00. You can't just accept the laws you like. They have to pass Constitutional muster, as set by the USSC.Of course I believe in the Constitution and the right to bear arms. I have guns and know how to use them. I was speaking about laws that the States pass that you don't like. If you don't like those laws then vote out those passing them. He knows perfectly well as do I that the right to bear arms is in the Constitution. Of course some on the left would rather it weren't. They think no one should own a gun for any reason.
Ahem...That is the right of every American...We get to decide which laws we deem just. Those we don't we go to the voting place and elect the people who can change the laws we don't like.
Then of course there is civil disobedience. An activity that defined the 1960's
The issue has nothing to do with a law being 'unjust,' the issue concerns the unjust treatment of gay Americans by denying them access to marriage law they're eligible to participate in.
