I've noticed over the years that many, many people don't really understand "rule of law". There's this incredulity they experience if they proceed in a righteous huff only to find themselves face to face with a cop. They will protest loudly and feel very hard done by. They seem to think the law should be instantly adjusted for THEM. Or that the police can actually go against the law, due to the sincerely or pureness of their motives. Very narcissistic.
There is an illiberal wind blowing through our culture now so the question is, as Ken so well raises, is this civil disobedience done in order to preserve our civil liberties or just another fight in the ongoing culture wars.
Regardless I agree that one one makes a stand you need to be prepared to stand the consequences.
I was with you until you went down the January 6 path. Different country, different issue. Unless you want to include pipeline protests or BLM/ANTIFA violence, watch out what comparisons you make; it's a hornet's nest.
Of course I agree on the legal aspect, but again, be careful what you wish for... What if Grace Life wins a legal challenge?
