You seem to have a bad case of conflicting legality with morality.
>Regardless, the court's decision is ultimately what governs the upholding of a law. Being in violation of that is still illegal.
This is just a tautology.
- Stratoscope 9y agoJust a suggestion, beginning a comment with "You seem to have a bad case of..." may not be conducive to a friendly discussion. In any case, I think you meant "conflating", not "conflicting".
- foldr 9y ago>You seem to have a bad case of conflicting legality with morality. Anyone who intentionally breaks the law has to meet a heavy burden of justification. The circumstances under which it's morally ok to do so are rare, and usually involve emergencies or deliberate protest (in which case the perpetrator has to be prepared to accept the consequences). You cannot just go around breaking whatever law happens to be impacting your bank balance at the present moment and then justify that behaviour merely by intoning the phrase "legality is not morality".
