Dick Cheney Tells Chris Wallace: ‘Traitor’ Snowden Possibly Had Chinese Connection Before Leaking

58. So if something is the law you will accept it? How about it being against the law for women to vote

or African Americans to be segregated from White Americans?

Here's the way I see it. If a law is bad, I do not use it to defend those who ARE using to do bad things. I would never, eg, have used a law that forbade women to vote by referring to it as 'the law which we must abide by'. I would refer to it as 'the law that must be changed'.

The Patriot Act has a sunshine clause, the only way Bush was able to get it passed. It was supposed to be temporary and he even knew it was so bad that he had pretend it was temporary.

Those who believed him were stupid, imo. Or maybe it was just an out for them knowing their constituents would be furious with them for voting for it.

It is a horrible law to which I never refer anyone, especially when we have GOOD laws, the Constitution itself, to refer to.

So when I see someone saying 'it's the law' without adding, 'that damn well needs to go', I'm not sure where they stand.

They can pass all the bad laws they want, they are still bad and still need to go. That's the only reason I would ever mention that Orwellian, Bush piece of garbage 'law'.

We are also not obliged morally to obey bad laws. History teaches us that without those who refused to obey bad laws, this would be a very bad place to be living in for an awful lot of people.
