Is it not immoral to break the law even if the law is immoral? What if said policy makers believe what you consider "not immoral" to be just that, immoral? Wouldn't they be on the side of correct morality? This is why the logic of "who is more moral" fails because someone believes they're safeguarding "true" morality. Hence why we are a nation of laws and institutions that upholds or challenges them. Which is why I disagree with you, it is unreasonable (even though it's not why GoDaddy dropped them). If the law is immoral/unjust, take it to court. Otherwise shut up and deal with it. That's what civil rights leaders did back in the 60's. They didn't just whine on twitter.

  Maybe the conservatives are civilly being disobedient to a law they consider immoral. See how your logic can be turned against you?

I'm not sure it's accurate to say that civil rights leaders "shut up" and didn't "whine". Most of their work was public issue advocacy in the form of marches, boycotts, speeches, news communication, media advocacy, op-eds, etc. I tend to think of the Birmingham Bus Boycott, the March on Washington, and the Selma March (Bloody Sunday) as probably the single most crucial acts of civil rights leaders. I'm also not sure it's accurate to say people aren't taking this law to court. In fact, they did that before the law became law. Then the Supreme Court declined to enjoin the law. Then they managed to enjoin literally this group from enforcing the law, as part of the legal process that's currently unfolding.
