RE Your duty to ignore Obama's laws. All of them. ....

‘When unjust laws are popular … only disobedience can change them’

Sigh
The photo appeared in 1932 Fortune magazine. The Supreme Court at the time was made up of four conservatives (McReynolds, Butler, van Devanter, Sutherland), three liberals (Brandeis, Stone, Cardozo) and two moderates (Hughes, Roberts). [Source]
But, to the point ...

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has taken a lot of flack for saying, in an off-the-cuff comment, that he believed Texas could secede from the union if it didn’t like what Washington was doing. Do you believe secession is a legitimate option for states?

On this issue, Gov. Perry is correct. The taboo on secession is a trick played by the Big Government types. We became a country, for Heaven’s sake, by seceding from Great Britain. And the “sheet anchor of our liberties,” the Declaration of Independence, is a legal and moral justification for secession, and it is codified in federal law.

This is a great interview. I of course scurried to find a photograph of the SCOTUS sitting en banc, but there is evidently a prohibition against such pictures.  So as far as I know The Supremes exist only in the minds of the New York Times which use it to ... I've run amok, haven't  I?  Anyway, I wanted a photochop of Chief Justice Napolitano telling the Obama Justices they were fired.  Do your own thought bubble on that.  My point of course is that Napolitano would be an ideal Justice.  I'm not making that up.  Here's one more exchange for the lazy, or otherwise disinterested.

Has our freedom really been curtailed so considerably? Certainly, there hasn’t been as significant an infringement on personal liberty as there was during World War I and World War II, right? Aren’t we are still one of the freest countries in the world?

Being among the freest countries in the world is a meek standard. Our freedoms are far less than they were during the two world wars.

We have a president who has been judge, jury, and executioner on an American; who has started a war without congressional authorization; and who thinks the Constitution is just a - Judge Andrew Napolitano in interview

When you said Chief Justice Napolitano, I naturally thought ... I mean, what else could I ... Hey, couldn't you just include his first name?

My first take on Judge Napolitano was "Who would step down from the bench to get on TV?", but over a time, watching him on FNC, I have come to admire his positions on Constitutional Law. He would wrap Barry in knots in a debate on that topic. Actually, he'd wrap the whole of Congress in a knot.
"The Constitution? We can do what we want...." -- poor misquote of a CongressCritter when s/he was asked about the constitutionality of proposed legislation.
My opinion is that legislation now slithers through Congress rather than progressing. It is that low.

Am I the only one disturbed by the "Being among the freest countries in the world" part of the Napolitano quote.

WTF???

How bad is it when the United States of America is not simply the "freest" country in the world? The Left has won, boys. The only question left is do we get to enjoy a Soviet-style totalitarian society or do we go straight to the Hitler model?

Assholes, every last one of them.

My one hope is that enough of "flyover country" figures this sh*t out and secedes before the Obamunists and their Stupid Party (h/t Kim du Toit) enablers like Boehner and Mitchell introduce us to the glories of the Lubyanka.
