It's worth noting that in the United States, a lot of civil disobedience that has happened, and is happening now, is built on legal reasoning that the unjust laws in question are also unconstitutional, since our constitution explicitly grants many rights to US citizens.
This also affords a way to commit civil disobedience in good conscience for those whose religion or personal convictions forbid disobedience to civil authority.
