Lawlessness part 2

Oops, I missed including the last paragraph in the previous post. It won't do to update it because updates aren't sent out by the automatic email distribution system. That's how many family members read my blog. So…

Rob Tisinai compares county clerks in Pennsylvania who break the law in issuing marriage licenses with town clerks in New York who broke the law in refusing to issue marriage licenses. The National Organization for Marriage praised the action in New York but called the current action "lawless." Tisinai wonders if there is a difference between civil disobedience and lawlessness. Yes, he concludes. The Penn. clerks are disobeying the law because they want to draw attention to an injustice. The New York clerks merely said the law doesn't apply to them.
