This is quite the straw man. I meant free in a legal sense.



It's exactly the point though. You are free to break laws, or at least you are free to try. You are not nearly so free to break laws once you are in prison.

I think what you're saying is that you cannot expect to break laws without there being consequences. Of course we agree about that. The point of civil disobedience is that you believe so strongly you are willing to pay the price.

Perhaps you believe it is morally wrong to break laws as a means of getting the courts to interpret the Constitution?


He's not actually saying anything. Don't feed the trolls.
