Well, good on ya...

but you must remember that civil disobedience includes acquiescence to the punishment that the law provides for that disobedience.

Thanks for standing up for what’s right.

I dunno...I gotta disagree. Strictly IMNSHO, if a law is unconstitutional, immoral, or wrong, then the punishment for disobeying said law is unconstitutional, immoral or wrong. That doesn't mean you're not going to be punished for violating the law, but I'd be damned if I "accepted" it willingly.

Just my $.02.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
