Yay! Finally people pull their head of their arses! It doesn't really matter if people marry, all they're trying to do it soldify their relationship. I honestly don't know how in hell people think that gay marriage is going to "undermine the moral foundations of America".

You're already supporting the principle of nullification. Give in to the Dark Side!

There's a difference between nullification and civil disobedience.

Or do you argue that these two concepts are very similar?

In this case, I would argue just that.

I'd argue that as well (that they are very similar).

So Martin Luther King Jr. supported nullification when he never even used that word in his Letter from Birmingham Jail??

We aren't talking about MLK or any other individual. We're talking about a government that is deciding what laws it will and will not follow.

Hmmm . . . . . then I suppose the question is -- is nullification (imposition of minority rule over majority) justified when it comes to unjust laws??

MrFun:
You're confusing the legal and the moral ground here. The judge will never justify the disobediance to law based on morality: the lawmaker will have to change the law instead.
