... said King George to the tea-partyers...

Kindly reread Letter from a Birmingham Jail.

BTW, the tea-partiers knew the consequences of getting caught, which is why they expended so much energy on NOT getting caught. They would not have thrown a hissy-fit about it not being "fair" that they were getting punished. In short, they had a LOT more scrotal fortitude than folks like Roy Moore.

Civil disobedience is OK only if you don't get caught?

Civil disobedience is justified when all long train of abuses renders it necessary to brake the bondage.

I, for one, am tired of law-making from the bench and the twisting of the First Amendment. Kudos to Judge Moore for having the guts to stand against this! It set in motion the direction for what is taking place in Congress with religious liberty protection. He set the ball rolling, in many respects, and has lit the fire of indination needed to roll back the abuses of the courts.
