Alabama's Moore vows to defy Supreme Court if it backs gay marriage

Peaceful protests are one thing - but how many riots were there in the South.....



Not necessary comparing the two - other than to say that instead of protest marches - why didn't Martin King just - well as in your words There is a whole system of law in place to address the grievances (post #9 ). King simply could have went to court to change the laws.

They aren't mutually exclusive. You can challenge through the courts and peacefully protest. That is what was done. Protests happened while at the same time, laws were challenged in court.

To bring things somewhat full circle, Washington didn't have protesting or legal challenges as any real viable option.

Are you saying that there were no riots during the Civil rights protests?

Would they not be a little understandable? I'm hoping you will eventually get around to making your point.

Nobody is above the law. Only God is allowed to be judge and jury. He places those in to uphold it, not abuse it. Sadly there are many people that think they are above the law. Sad but true.

You know that's not what I said. I haven't mentioned riots, that's all you.

Why don't you just get to your point?

What, specifically, in Romans 13 says he needs to "get in line"?

One of his duties as our chief justice is to defend our state from federal encroachment.

Bump for "preachinjesus".

Haven't said anything of the like. It is legal to peacefully protest. If Moore wanted to lead a peaceful protest at the Lincoln Memorial, he is welcome to have at it.

After following the proper procedures and obtaining a permit. Pretty standard practice everywhere.

Had Washington been afforded the same such opportunity, perhaps rebellion could have been avoided.

No, King George and the English Parliament were too arrogant at that time to compromise. Remember the "Bloody Massacre" in Boston in 1770?

I was waiting for an answer as well.

In addition to the questions I already asked, I'd like for him to explain why he believes it's wrong for Moore to defy a court ruling that infringes on the rights of Alabama, but perfectly fine for Ayatollah Obama to ignore the federal court rebuke of his royal amnesty edict.
