It is a well respected truth in American constituitional law that "it is no crime to disobey an unconstitutional law".
The Supreme Court is not the final arbitor of what is constitutional...We The People are.
I am tired of those who would surrender their rights to the appointed justices of the Supreme Court...that is not how the system was supposed to work.
OK, you've got me curious now. How was it supposed to work in your view? Every individual citizen would just interpret the Constitution themselves and obey only those laws they found constitutional?

Or maybe jury nullification? Instead of just you, you now have to get 7 of 12 people to agree with you and then we ignore the law?

It seems to me that would be chaotic, to put it mildly.
