re: #164 Gus
Sorry. We’re not going to reinvent BLM, grazing fees, public land management, farm aid, etc. just for one freaking far-right reactionary loser that refused to pay up.
No, we’re not. Cooke and Kavulla were making that point. Citizens cannot pick and choose which laws they will obey. if a law is bad, civil disobedience may call attention to the problem, but the actual fix must come from the legislative process.
But this isn’t civil disobedience we’re talking about: This case was about a freeloader who was arguing that the relevant laws did not apply to him. And that argument is indefensible.
