The Right Thing and the Legal Thing Aren't Always the Same
A bill from Republican lawmakers aims to criminalize 'harboring or hiding' undocumented immigrants
Betsy Phillips 5 hrs ago
 
Have you ever smoked pot? Taken mushrooms? How fast can you get from, say, Nissan stadium to Shotgun Willie’s BBQ? When was the last time you shot off fireworks inside the city limits? You have any uncles who make a mean moonshine? Did you ever mix sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and nitrogen in your garage in an effort to make blue pigment and only afterwards wonder if that was even legal to do?
 

Congratulations. You are well-equipped to live in Tennessee. Since Republicans are trying to make it illegal to “harbor or hide” someone who is undocumented, I would like to encourage you to think about people who harbor undocumented people as morally akin to people who speed. A thousand dollars? Yes, it’s a lot. But if your family has money set aside to pay for Cousin Joe when he inevitably gets drunk and tries to fight his ex’s new husband, your family can set aside money to pay for Cousin Joe when he gets caught sharing an apartment with his undocumented coworker.

Hell, young people with conservative parents, I would even take this as a good excuse for premarital sex. You’re not screwing around with that cute Irish bartender who has overstayed their visa. You’re harboring them in your bed and hiding them under you. It’s your moral duty to break unjust laws.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

That is EXACTLY what Imam Obama said too, but I don't remember any federal judge jumping his *ss about breaking the law.  And I don't remember federal judges seriously challenging lame brain Biden about it either.  For the most part, if a judge ordered him to stop something, he just ignored them. Paying college education bills is the prime example.  Did John Roberts get his boxers in a knot up his *ss when Biden ignored him? **nononono*

Then it is also our moral duty to ignore unjust orders and decisions from the courts.
