"If any law contradicts my God-given freedoms or rights, it should be defied and ignored."

Maybe for a revolutionary, but not for an officer of the court. Unless, of course, you are an anarchist.

Add - if he can't enforce the law, he should resign. Just like if the officer can't follow the order, he should resign.

Let me clue you in on something I mentioned before. The govt is not the highest moral authority - God is. The D of I says as much. The Roman empire slaughtered Christians NOT because they worshipped Christ, but becuase they would not worship the Emperor ALSO. They were deemed a threat to the State because they did not buy into the pluralistic morality of Rome. Rome could not tolerate any authority higher than it. Sound familiar? I am far from an anarchist. I am a Christian Constitutionalist. I have noticed that there aren't 5 people in Washington who even follow the Constitution with all of their anti- and extra-constitutional legislation. Show me in teh Constitution where it allows for an EPA, or an IRS. We fought a revolution over a 2% stamp tax! I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat - both parties are corrupt beyond repair. I am not a conservative - there is nothing left to conserve. I'm not a libertarian because they don't care about open borders and they believe that men are basically good by nature (wrong-headed!).

Let's see...what was the name of that famous Nazi judge who hung the bomb-plot conspirators....he followed the law as he understood it too.
