Any fool can pick up a weapon and aim at an officer of the law; the moral power of civil disobedience lies in the willingness to defer to the law and accept punishment on principle.

Uh huh. Assuming the law is amenable to that form of suasion. The Jews found out what happens when it isn't.

No conservative would pick and choose the laws he intends to obey, defy the rest, and challenge the rule of democracy with guns.

This isn't a democracy. And every citizen in it is not only capable, but obligated, to choose to disobey laws that are unconstitutional. It isn't a privilege, it's a duty. The author of this Scrapbook is unworthy to be an American.

You are exactly right.

In point of fact, this is the duty of every juror, one of the reasons for a jury, and every citizen when not on a jury.

It is also a duty to be informed of these facts.
