Newton’s Laws of the Rule of Law

Filed under: daily — Lawrence Peterson @ 7:37 am
1. No person should obey or enforce unlawful orders.
2. Each person must decide for themselves what is lawful or unlawful, giving appropriate weight to lawful authorities.
3. Each person must decide for themselves the likely consequences of disobedience and act accordingly, but some sacrifice of personal interest or convenience is appropriate in support of the rule of law.
4. Violent resistance to unlawful orders is no more lawful than violent enforcement of unlawful orders.
